Default Manifold gaskets???

I'm installing P.S. LT headers and wanted to buy a better set of gaskets to use instead of the paper ones that comes with it but the problem is every set I buy will not work. At both ends the bolt holes are moved about 1/2" outboard to use on the outer holes on the head but the Pace Setter uses the inner holes so what do I do???

I used FelPro 1470 gaskets with my PS headers. I have not had any issues with them. These are described as LT1 header gaskets. I know that alot of folks use a different FelPro gasket number too, 1406 (I think). These have loops for the last bolt holes, which allow you to start these outer bolts first on the headers then drop the gaskets into place. I didn't have any problems aligning through all of the bolt holes.

I used ARP 3/4" HEX stainless bolts, and am very happy with them as well.
