Which exhaust header gasket for 289 heads?
I already blew the gasket on the drivers side header. So now I need a new one. I searched Summit's site and they're so many choices. Which one do I need for a stock 289 head with tri-y headers? What material should I go with? What company makes the best? How do I know what port style/size I have? Thanks!

So i'm getting the Fel-Pro 1415s from NAPA tomorrow and the guy there said they are for racing ports, they are bigger ports than stock. On Summit's website they say the gaskets will fit stock ports. Will these gaskets work then on my stock ports?

I've always heard that copper is the best gasket to use. Give these guys a call.

All I ever use any more is 1415s. They fit the head but may be too big for some small header flanges.
