Any auto parts stores tock the Felpro 1406 header gaskets?

Went to 3 stores today, all said they had to special order the preferred Felpro 1406 header gasket Some said it would be 5 days to get it! Luckily Orileys can get it by tomorrow, just wondering if anyone knows if NAPA or others that may stock these normally in case I need another sometime being that I have 2 LTx vehicles with headers?

I would think it would be easy find something like that in an area that big.

I would go with a different gasket, the 1406 has huge ports and very little material to actually seal with. I installed my headers with the 1406 gaskets and ended up blowing them out between the bolt hole and the port on the #4 and 6 cylinders. I went through the proper tightening and heat cycling and used locking header bolts too. Take a look at them when they arrive and you'll see what I mean. I like Felpro, but these gaskets need smaller ports and more material near the bolt holes.
