I made that mistake until I had a rethink........ This will be the gasket your after, it will be rectangular but it also needs to go up the top front of the rocker cover as well as all around the base.

Thats why it looks triangular almost.

There are two standard gaskets, the older Cortina Pinto with narrow lip on the head and narrow rocker cover lip and the later wide lip, I have used a wide gasket on a narrow lip and just trimmed back the excess.
