T-stat gasket question

[Fighting5thSVT]

I just got back from Napa with new upper/lower radiator hoses and a new thermostat. The clerk at Napa swore (even after I questioned it when he handed it to me) that this was the right gasket for the tstat/water neck. Does this look right to you? It doesn't even seem like it fits right at all. Shouldn't this just be a regular old fashion gasket here???

Not right.

Should look like this:

The one you got is for a 94-95...smack that clerk when you return it to get the right one.

Alright, after some searching, I found an old post from 2006 that stated "Ours uses a gasket, not an O-ring". But that was the extent of it.

Anyone have a part ## of that gasket?

Thank you
