56' Oil Bath Air Cleaner Gaskets

[My Old Blue]

56' Country Sedan 312

Cleaned up and painted my oil bath air cleaner and ordered gasket set from Mac's. https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_mercury_late/air-cleaner-gasket-set-ford-only.html

Having issues with Mac's as the gasket set pictured does not include the cork gasket shown. Working with them to honor a solution to get me a cork gasket.

Meanwhile, of the three rubber gaskets shown, only one fits the main air cleaner housing located on bottom where cleaner contacts the carb.

Any one have experience ordering this gasket set and or have a diagram/photo to help locate where these rubber gaskets fit? I know one is supposed to fit inside main housing but rubber gasket is too small of diameter.

The part you ordered is probably for the T-Bird 312 which has a completely different air cleaner than the sedan cars & wagons had.
You know, you can go down to the local chain auto parts store and buy a roll of cork gasket material and cut out your own gasket for whatever you need. I do it on lots of stuff for my '55.
