Default Who sells header/manifold gaskets???

Do any of the sponsers sell header gaskets? I have a header leak that is really geting on my nerves. I used the metal GM gaskets, but I'm looking for the other kind...(not sure what it's made of, maybe cork ?). Is this anything that Autozone or O'rielys would carry?

i always heard that the GM metal ones were pretty good, in fact when i bought my headers from TSP, they said to go ahead and reuse my stock ones instead of the ones that came with my Pacesetters

I got the non metal ones when i got my pacesetter LT's but just reused the GM ones since we knew the headers were coming off shorty after anyways for the H/C install. I can look around for those, but im sure we probably just threw them away, i think one was broke a little.

You can call TSP and see if they can send you just the gaskets.

I recently did an upgrade on the heads/cam. I asked a couple of the sponsors which type they used. All recommended the GM gaskets. Local dealership carries them. That is what was in there for 3 years without problem and what went back into the new set up.
