i dont have the number but i have used that kit, make darn sure that the plate is NOT WARPED!!!!! mine was and i didnt have the knowlege that i do now to know how to unwarp the plate so i ended up doubleing gaskets. I know that double gasketing is not the best but at the time, thats all i could think of to stop the leaking. Also, as an after thought, if the plate is straight and it stil leaks around the plate, go and get some cork gasket material thats twice as thick as the rubber gasket in the kit and make a gasket. that rubber gasket is thinner than the original gasket from what i am led to believe. hope this helps. good luck.

Hi Timmy,  When I bought one back in '02 the NAPA number was 4124. 

Have fun,
