I wonder if you installed the gasket front to back---I think it can fit over the studs that way but it looks not quite right. There is a part of the gasket that fits over a freeze plug on one end and you snip the corresponding part at the other end (been a while--think it gets snipped at the temp sensor). That gasket may double for use in a carbureted model--I don't know for sure. As for brand--you can't go wrong with a Volvo original part--but one from any major gasket maker should work ok. -- Dave
