Hi Everyone!
I'm looking for a little help with purchasing an intake manifold
gasket for a 1995 Grand Am SE V6. The parts supplier has two different
gasket sets for the make, model, year, and type of Grand Am I have.
This is how each is described:

Choice 1:  w/Ball & Pivot rocker arms; 1st Design; w/o push rod guides
on int. gskt

Choice 2:  w/Roller rocker arms; 2nd Design; w/push rod guides on int.
gskt

I don't know which Grand Am type I have. Does anyone know how I might
be able to definatively tell which gasket set would be correct (Short
of actually taking the intake out and examining it)?
Thank you so much for your help.

One digit in your VIN will be the engine code. Check with your dealer to
find out which digit, and what the engine codes are for the two engines.

What's the 8th digit of your VIN?

The 8th digit on the VIN is the letter "M".

If you pull the front valve cover you can see if it has roller rockers
or ball pivot rockers.  You will also be able to see the "guides" molded
into the gaskets.  Use the upgraded metal gaskets.

Get the Fel-Pro MS98004T gasket set, it fits both versions of the
3.1.
