Unfortunately I can not advice you with respect to location of said item, may I suggest that you have a bespoke one made from say Dobson Gaskets.

Not to mention 440's are rarer than hens teeth at breakers yards.

Plenty of parts on ebay and really your local auto should be able to order anything for it....although its a 1991 car they were made up untill 1997.

You can make your own gasket. Just buy some gasket paper from a automotive store and use the old gasket as a pattern. Or use the carb or inletmanifold as pattern if the old gasket isn't useable anymore. All you have to do is cut the gasket paper in shape. Very easy to do and gasket paper is cheap. Works fine, used it a lot on my 1800ES.

Just to re-iterate B20F's reply.
When I had my 340GL, my Indie 'made' a gasket for carb-head to solve the all too common 'rough running syndrome'. Even though back then they were probablt still available, he prefered to make his own to save costs & said they were just as good

I dont know if it helps but the simple paper gasket (number 86 in below diagram) is still available. Number 66 in the diagram has expired though, but if you can get away without it then the dealers (including myself) can still get these. I remember when i first started here we used to sell these every week, haven't sold them for a long time now though.
