Default Exhaust manifold gasket question.

Hey guys i need to replace my driver side manifold gasket b/c of a small leak. The cars a 94z with stock manifolds. I do plan on running headers but my house needs a new AC unit so that's taking up most of my funds atm. I'm having abit of time picking out the right gasket tho. Summit shows one available while jegs shows 3 others. I did alot of googling and alot of ppl speak highly of the "Felpro 1406" but that one doesn't show up under the search filter when i look up my motor. However both sites do have them. They are pretty cheap like 15-20$ less then the other gaskets. I just want to double check to make sure they will work before i waste time and money to find out they don't. Or if there is another gasket that would better suit manifolds plz let me know. Also should i go ahead and get a new set of header bolts while im taking these off? The passenger side doesn't need to be replaced but im goin to tackle it while im goin at it. After alot of reading I think i have the main 4 things needed. 1: Skinny arms - 2: PB blaster 3: LOTS of time (cars not a DD so it can sit for a few days) 4: And a fat ole swear jar.

On a stock manifold I would go back with the stock style, I have had good luck with the stock replacement Fel-pro peice you can get at O-Reillys.

I don't have the ones I have used, but I'll bet they are universal at most parts houses for an LT1.

Awesome tyvm guys. I was taking another look in the engine bay and the driver side looks pretty simple to get too but the passenger side's gana be the fun one. ha
