It has been a long time, but I still remember - despite the snow on the roof. I had to go through a flathead Ford to try and seal it up and clean the engine for a restoration project. This was about 35 years ago. At the time I found fairly quickly that when it came to gaskets I was going to have to either find new old stock (NOS) parts or get new stuff from off-shore. As a rule, the NOS gaskets and seals were dried up, rusted, water damaged. As a rule, the off-shore parts were not well made, didn't fit, or were made of inferior materials. Not a particularly good prospect.
