I'm regasketing the 400 in my son's PowerWagon, and bought a complete gasket set from FelPro.
When I went to replace the o-rings on the oil pump, the main o-ring was ridiculously undersized--by over an inch.
When I went to the parts store to order one, there was a Victor number, but discontinued. There was nothing wrong with the pump--no scars or grooves, etc., so buying a new pump for $60-$90 wasn't necessary.
I tracked down the proper sized o-ring through another avenue and got it installed.
Good to go, right?
I just went to bolt the pump to the block, and the supplied gasket isn't right either. I'm thinking it must be for a small block.
Is this a common problem with the FelPro gasket set?
