Its a bulltear plate but Im going to use copper coat between midplate and filter housing. So it'll be fine.

On a metal to metal surface like that, You're better off using an anaerobic sealer like this instead.

Photo of my latest filter bypass block, this time on a later (1977) housing with the better angled oil passage. Also changed to a later filter adapter so I'll use a modern filter with bypass and anti drainback valve. This is the one I'll be using.

The second gasket between the plate and the filter adapter is not necessary. If you think you need a gasket there, you can use another one like the one at the bottom of the picture. Those pictured are .007" thick gaskets.

Well yes and no. If you do not SEAL the midplate evenly or correctly it will give you leaks or potentially run on your gears.
