Default What gaskets go on the truck manifold flanges??
i noticed one of the manifolds had a ball-type gasket in it, but obviously that wont work the way we use the manifolds. is there a flat gasket that i can order? or do i have to make one?

I got some from Kurt also. They are awesome and reusable. Like said before, a lot of people use RTV too if you can't find the other gaskets.

Copper RTV, never leaked in the 1500 miles or so they generally get before I take the car apart for something or another.

I used RTV and it always bugged me. I don't think they ever leaked but I would prefer gaskets if they are available.
