what header gasket for stock heads, hooker long tubes
i cannot find a set of gaskets that will fit these, ive tried 3 different sets, probably just going to run copper rtv with no gasket this go around.

Pacesetters are the same way. I just went to Autozone and found a nice pair of copper header gaskets for a SBC (same as LT1's) and they have little hooks that can use either of the two bolt holes.

the problem is the flat spot on the head, uhm... ill get a pic later, but basically the d port of the head is dwarfed in size compared to the the big *** port on the hooker long tubes, anyways, the bottom left and right corners of the longtubes, are basically open to the side of the cylinder head, the gasket doesnt cover it up either and the flat spot on the head doesnt extend outwards that far.... i dunno wtf to do.

ill have to get pictures. basically looking at the head itself at the port, the bottom left and right corners of the port, the header pipe is taller than the D port, its more of a big *** square thing, anyways, it matches everywhere on top but like 3-4mm past the bottom of the port itself, well in the corners, this allows the header to be open to the open atmosphere, it WOULD only be open to the gasket but i cant find a gasket to fill in that void.
