any header gasket? help

well nobody near me carries felpro gaskets. I live about 45 min from summit but it says their out of stock. is there any other gaskets i can buy to use with my jet hot long tubes? and im just going to put my stock plugs back in. i'll change them down the road when i put a cam in my car.

what gaskets will work and where do i get them?

the jethot longtubes done came with gaskets right?
but they do come with header bolts?
what all comes in the package?

They come with gaskets, but I would use stockers before them. And they came with plain jane bolts, I ordered Stage 8s.

I had problems with the copper gaskets, they leaked like crazy. Whether or not they'll work depends on how flat your flange is, it really has to be completely flat for them to seal. You might want to check out the dead soft aluminum gaskets, I think they're made by Persey and Summit sells them. I've heard nothing but good things about those gaskets also.

I had problems with the copper gaskets as well. I replaced the coppers with a set of dead soft aluminum yesterday, and still my headers leak. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
