Part store header gaskets?

Well I swapped transmissions out of my car and had to undo the passenger side header to do so. Have the day off tomorrow and want to finish it tomorrow. Only thing holding me back is the header gaskets does any part store sell a decent gasket. I know Discount Auto holds a lot of Felpro stuff but I have also heard horror stories with part store parts.

Thanks for the input car should be back together for round 2 tomorrow lol

You can't go wrong with the Felpro 1406.

X3 - I've gone down the road with Percys as well in the past and have come back to the Felpros as they sealed better.

Unless the gasket is blown out I would reuse it.
