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.
