wtf felpro! I dont know whos more retarded felpro or me lol. I just spent over an hour trying to properly line up my new header gaskets. I couldn't get a couple of the bolts into the head so I grabbed the other one for reference to help find the holes... and theres 2 bolt holes missing from the gasket!
I pull out the one im working on and sure enough its missing 2 holes as well. I can't believe I didn't notice before I tried installing them. and of course I figured I would tackle the harder passenger side first. doh!

I've not seen every type of manifold or header for GM vehicles, but I can't imagine any using the outter most hole and not having ANYthing for the inner hole. Just seems like it'd be prone to leak there. I've seen manifolds that can use both of the holes, but you still use those closest to the exhaust port :\ Bummer that it came as such! Hopefully you didn't pull the header out first to see what was up
