They used to me made by MSD. Yes, I said MSD, the ignition people... But I doubt if anyone there will be of any help. Probably best to try matching the o-rings at your local industrial supply. Does it actually use a head gasket???

Yeah what he said. They should have an assortment of o-rings and they will help you out.

Write down the #s and I will add to the ref. library (as rare as it is).




I think MSD is located in El Paso.

You can also buy the industry standardized o-ring sizes on line ... I will post the site here tonight, when i get home. My home town ACE hardware carries them,in viton materials...... (a good plumbing supply house will too)

I think I have maybe a head gasket, They're plastic, I might even have the o-rings too, do you have the old o-rings? You need to measure them for thickness. They did make two different size grooved domes for the o-rings, Can't remember if it was the later heads that had the thinner o-rings and the 1st early one had the thicker ones.
PM me and I'll print it and look at shop...

I have an old MSD catalogue where those heads were sold in it. I will scan it for you and post it up when I get a chance. DAVE

Derek, chuckie is local and would have the right stuff, you can match it up too. I would go there. Take Pat he knows the way......

I have a head exactly like that also.

any info about the gasket is appreciated by me too.

is it possible to use a stock gasket with it?

 

[tom21]

he just got a gasket yesterday and it even says twist on the bag. I''l have him hook you up with the who and where. or you can PM Chasingdaylite or I met a superjet on here.

 

[tom21]

here it is

SuperTune,

is there a reason I could not use a stock gasket with that head?

 

[dbrutherford]

I scanned the Twist Catalogue. There is some good info in there but... The file size is too large to upload. So email me and I will send it along.

Just replace the AT with @ and DOT with . and shoot me some mail. Make sure you put MST Twist Head in the Subject.

Why...Old school stuff, company out of business and the plastic headgasket are very hard to come by (I don't see one or listed as coming with one), plus twist heads have been known to crack domes and ruin motors, especially if they crack when running in saltwater. Thanks, But no interest for me.
