Hi, there is I beleive only two to chose from early or late the difference being the later gasket is wider to suit the wider cover the early one is
about 1/4" wide the later 1/2" as for the head gasket as long as the fire ring is the correct size then it should be fine

The head set I got for my Pinto had two rocker gaskets as there were different types for early and later engines. The head gasket was same for both.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The later wider type cam cover should have shaped spreader plates under the fixing bolts which tended to help stop oil leaks . If you have no spreader
plates it's likely you have the earlier type DO NOT over tighten the bolts as it will cause the gasket to split around the bolt holes. If you
can find the later cam cover and plates it will fit
