Are you referring to the gasket for the filter can? I'll update my
cross-reference page with your gasket information.
The filters I got from Memphis were Wix 33512. They differed from the
originals in the way that the gaskets on the ends of the filters were
mounted. The originals mounted the seals with a rolled flange over the
outside circumference of the gasket, while the Wix ones mounted them
with a rolled flange over the inside circumference of the gasket. With
the Wix ones, the spring-loaded metal cup at the bottom would bear
against the metal body of the filter without touching the gasket. Are
the NAPA filters constructed like the originals in that respect?
I made the Wix ones work by cutting an extra fuel-compatible rubber
gasket to go between the spring-loaded cup and the filter. The Wix
ones fit in the can, but they're not correct replacements!

The bolt gaskets aren't too hard to make with a gasket punch. The
large gaskets for the filter can are much harder... I bought a gizmo
for cutting large ring-shaped gaskets, but I just can't get it to cut
neat rings.
