Hey guys anyone know where to get the side cover gasket GM wanted 22 sompin and that sounded a little high but nobody else seems to carry it?????

The Corvette manual steering gear side cover gasket is still available from GM dealers or from several Corvette suppliers.

GM Dealers 5666734 Gasket $19.24
Zip Products - SC-380 63-82 Cover Gasket $3.00
Dr Rebuild - Steering Box Side Cover Gasket 6518225 $2.30

Saginaw made two high volume manual gears in the 60s and 70s. The Corvette had different mounts to the frame and the thrust system was different. But I think that the side cover gaskets were the same. But I am not positive.

Hope this helps.
