You should at least 2 checkballs unless you are running an aftermarketV.B. As for the Gaskets, there are only 2 different factory ones. They are identified by a stripe on them for 6 verses 7 check ball cases.

If I remember correctly a TCI brake or manual VB (cant remember) only used one ball. It was used with a spring in one of the passages for the center support. Vince
