9550

i suspect subtle changes were made the 5.0 engine for the 95 model year compared to 93 (and maybe 94??)
first clue was that my repair manual says in addition to the water pump bolts and the lower timing cover bolts that hold the timing cover to the block, there are two bolts at the top of the timing cover that are solely for the timing cover. however, my engine doesnt have them. no big deal i guess.
but, now im trying to hunt down a water pump gasket and everywhere i look, they ask me if i want the pump to plate gasket or the plate to block gasket. ok, i assume they are talking about the timing cover when they say plate.
but, i have seen at least one video of there being some type of thin plate between the pump and timing cover. i dont have any such plate, and i dont even know how one would fit. videos may not have been for 94/95 though.

i bought an entire engine gasket kit from ford, and it doesnt have the gasket i need. it has 3 pump gaskets, but none are correct.


nobody has the pump to plate gasket in stock. i cant necessarily order it from summit just yet because i think i need to figure out exactly what im looking for.
i have pictures below of my timing cover and pump. this is normal 95gt or what?
anybody know a part number for the gasket? as far as i know, i just need a gasket between the pump and the timing cover and thats it, right?

also, i have a picture of the diagram from ford. i am looking for the gasket that goes in the place where 8513 is. guy at ford said they arent carrying them anymore. also suggested i could buy a new pump which would come with a gasket. no thanks.
this diagram has two other items 8507 and 8508 that i dont have on my car? or is that something like i would need only one of the three items (8507,8508, or 8513)?


lastly, worst case, could i get away with just rtv and no gasket?
thanks

i think this *might* be the right gasket:

i just need some re-assurance
i know it says its good for 95 mustang, but so does this one:

and i know this second one is not the right size because they had it in stock at autozone, and it didnt fit.

EDIT - ^^^ this is the correct one

Part # TCS45449

This is from O'reilly. It is a Felpro kit, and comes with the three different water pump gaskets that Ford used. When looking at the picture, the far left one is the one for our cars. I used this set on my 351w, as it has a 94-95 timing cover and water pump.

FWIW, I have never seen any kind of plate in between the pump/timing cover as that diagram shows. Just bolt the water pump to the cover using the appropriate gasket I mentioned.
