Distributor Gasket

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Distributor Base Gasket (ALL 87250) is a composite gasket designed specifically for Chevy V6 and V8 engines that require precise sealing at the distributor mounting surface. This essential component prevents vacuum leaks and coolant seepage at the distributor base, ensuring proper ignition timing and engine reliability. It is sold individually and serves as a direct replacement for original equipment, guaranteeing OEM-specification fitment on compatible Chevrolet applications.

Constructed from durable composite materials, this gasket maintains stability across typical engine operating temperatures without the brittleness associated with older cork designs or the higher costs of multi-layer steel options. Its compact footprint measures 3.15 x 0.55 x 3.9 inches, making it suitable for standard distributor bases on Chevy V6 and select V8 engines. Proper sealing at this junction is crucial to prevent vacuum leaks that can lead to rough idle, hesitation, and timing control issues, which can negatively impact drivability and fuel economy if not addressed.

Engine builders, restoration shops, and DIY mechanics will find this gasket ideal for routine maintenance or rebuilds, especially when the original gasket shows signs of compression set or leakage. Whether restoring a classic Camaro, street rod, or vintage truck, the ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Distributor Base Gasket is a reliable choice for those performing distributor service or full ignition system overhauls on Chevy platforms.
