Default header gaskets for my pacesetter

I am installing my pacesetters tomorrow but I think I have the wrong header gaskets. I do not want to use the copper gaskets from pacesetter so I bought some fel pro, but they are almost square on the ports when they should be round. I called today at oreilly's and they have hopefully the right fel pro gasket. Does anyone know the part number for the gasket that I need?

get the GM stainless exhaust manifold gaskets. Many people here have said that they are the best sealing around.

trust me when it comes to header gaskets, the OEM GM 3 layer metal ones are the best. go to a local dealership and see if you can find them, chances are they have it in stock.

I have Fel-pro gaskets, the ports were round and not square. They were a perfect fit and so far have been great. Sorry, but I don't remember the part number.
