Phil,

Here is a link to one of the gaskets mentioned. Please copy and paste. I can't get the goddam link to work.

You will immediately notice that the picture at upper left is WRONG! I believe that is an intake manifold gasket? So ignore that. It is shown correctly elsewhere.

You will see the links to the exploded diagrams for J-type, not identified as such but it must be that, and the P-type which is identified. Below the diagrams there is a list of parts still available.

Like yourself, I had not heard of the P-type. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. While searching for info yesterday, I saw in print that the difference between the two is simply, the P-type does not have a speedometer drive. You will see this in the diagrams.

Also in poking around I recall that there is some sort of friction material on the inside of the brake ring.
