If its the stamped steel valve cover, you only have one option. That is to use the 3 peice gasket set, but only use the rubber ends. Don't use the cork gaskets that come with the kit. Use only "Mopar" RTV down the sides where the the bolts attach the valve cover to the head. I have tried other RTV's but the Mopar brand seems to be the best.

Hope this helps

Thats not true I have an 86 Aries K with the stambed steel coverThe gasket I got was from Felpro.

Its Part number is VS50205T. Its a 1 piece gasket, the front and rear are reinforced with steel. Autozone's site has it for 21.99 I got mine at Autozone in San Diego for 14.00.
When I installed it used some Permatex High Tack for all the corners and havent leaked a drop.

Good Luck

i know that advance auto sales a whole piece gasket for about $10. If you can't find one there, i would try doing a search on google by typing in what you need and checking the results, but your best bet is to try advance auto.
