Don't replace the cooler unless IT is leaking, and this is not 
common. I don't have any favorite brands of gaskets, but anything 
should have stood up correctly for much longer than 2 years. There 
is a LOT of confusion about the proper installation of parts for 
different year type 3 oil cooler seals. I have a FAQ if you haven't 
already gone to Toby's site and gotten it there.

I also have the proper seals for your 67 engine.
