No gasket for the headers or no gasket for the flange end of the headers?
i have bbk longtubes use bbk gaskets you can buy thenm on ebay,from bbk.felpro are some of the worst gaskets try not to use and if its at the flange end they don't use gaskets they just bolt to your bbk x or h pipe.

oh horse crap........I use them everyday of the week.....header gaskets blow out because no one ever goes back and checks the torque as the bolts often loosen up

Default HEADER AND EXHAUST GASKET!!

I have recently cracked a gasket on my 94. having never replace one before I am wondering if I have to replace the bolts when i replace the gasket, or can i just reuse the same bolts.

I've reused the old ones, but new ones aren't expensive if you want to go that route. Just temember what mjr said above, always check them as sometimes they do work loose.

you can use the same bolts. aslo go after 25 or so miles recheck them to make sure they didn't come loose and re tight'n the bolts when your car is warm not cold
