who to talk to at Mac's auto parts

[rob love]

Mac's deals with Commercial Fords, and not military. What you need is a parts manual for the Carrier. If you look at the part number for the item you want, as long as it doesn't start with something like a CTL , or C01UC , you might be OK. These are strictly military part numbers.For instance, your head gaskets are part number C11A 6051. That part number does nt go over to Mac's cataloge, but by using the 6051 code (all head gaskets will be 6051 but with different prefixes to indicate model years) you can see their selection of head gaskets. The gasket kits are in the same area (6008 is the basic item code...all engine gasket kits to this day will have that same basic code from Ford). It would likely be cheaper if you just ordered the complete gasket set for the engine. The part number for a Victor Reinz gasket set is 6082FS. You should be able to order this locally at your NAPA store, or else it can be ordered off ebay for around $65.

Telephone operators generally do not know a lot about engines, and especially not alot about military vehicles.
