header gaskets
Planning on getting some aluminum header gaskets when shopping for them i noticed they have square and oval. I have a 70s block and heads from around the same period. What are the dates or what that determines the head port?

Re: header gaskets
They are most likely the square or rectangle. I use manifold gaskets on mine with great results.

Ask for "Percey's aluminum gaskets. They are a little more expensive but are reusable, life time guarantee and they work!

Re: header gaskets
So if my headers are oval and my heads are square should I use the square ones?
