BSA Gasket, manifold to head
Gasket sealing the intake manifold to the cylinder head, listed for 1969–1970 in the CYLINDER HEAD section.
This is a gasket that seals the intake manifold to the cylinder head, listed in the CYLINDER HEAD section of the parts book. It sits between the head and the manifold where the carburetor tract meets the engine, keeping that joint sealed against air leaks that can throw off carburetion.

The canonical description ties it to BSA, and the catalog shows it appearing across 1969 to 1970 records. It's a simple, thin part but worth replacing whenever the manifold comes off, since an old or torn gasket at this joint is a common source of a lean-running, hard-to-tune engine.
It's also known under the shorter alias 68-71, which is the same part number without the leading zero and dash formatting some catalogs use. Confirm fitment against your own head and manifold before ordering, since we only have this listed for the 1969–1970 window in our records.
