Tabe -

8)Yep, it's for the Water Pump
10) Fuel Pump Base Gasket - Carb Models in Europe
11) Yep, Coolant Crossover Pipe Gaskets
12) Muffler Flange Gasket - Carb Models in Europe
13) Oil Filler Tube to Case Gasket
17) Dipstick Tube to Case O-Ring
18/19) Dunno, but I believe for Carb Models in Europe
21/22)  Intake Manifold - 2 Different Carb Models in Europe

Keep in mind this gasket set is intended for both 1.9 & 2.1 Engines,
Carbureted and Fuel Injection.  A one kit does all.

And be sure you put #6 & #7 in the right position on the cylinders.
My assembler in '97 did it backwards and I paid for it dearly a year
ago in only 75,000 miles.
