All Stude V8's (232, 259, 289) would use the same valve cover gaskets. All 232's would require 8 hold down bolt seals. Only the early 259's and 289's require 8...the later ones 4.

Get the neoprene gaskets if you can,they are reusable

The early four bolt cover (four per cover) take a smaller gasket (width of the gasket)than the later two bolt covers. Either will work but better fit if you use the correct ones.

Same size, but there is a early and late design, but I think either will work.

Afraid not. Would like to but just too many things I need to get done here. Hope to make Nebraska next year.
