Sorry,I haven't looked but they are the same cork with tabs that correspond with the valve cover cut outs (even on cast open letter) 65-70 smallblock . The exception is some early versions were black on the top and bottom face and later ones bare cork.

Thank you Jeff for link .   Makes more sense to me now.   Doing a little detailing on one of the survivors and had valve covers off was questioning them being replaced..

For 66 - Triangle/pointed shaped tabs in the correct six spots. Cork gasket with black on top and bottom surfaces is the current expectation/understanding

Don't have any period pictures since most articles were done with earlier cars to push sales but do have the picture below showing a 67 with the painted closed letter valve covers as an example to illustrate.

on cork gaskets that have the black coating on them, is it recommended to apply a sealant? which brand sealant?
