I have a n edelbrock performer intake on my 72 dart w/318. I have a coolant leak in the front(above the timing cover) I will replace the intake gasket. My question is ,do i have to use edelbrock intake gaskets? There are several brands available,dont want to do it over by saving a dollar. Thoughts??
 
It is not the t/h. I put a GOOD gasket on it. I can see it oozing out when warm (between the intake and block).
 
Superformance gaskets are the real deal look them up on the web. The owner Greg is a good guy give him a ring.
 
I use Greg for my W2 gaskets... just spent an hour on the phone with him Friday .
But for the RPM on the Barracuda I really like those Eddie gaskets with the embossed ring around the ports . Fixed a vacuum leak that was hard to detect .
 
Edelbrock gaskets are just repackaged felpro gaskets that are more expensive...
On aftermarket intake manifolds I always use the 1213 felpro.. it's thicker and takes up a lot more of the expansion...

Does felpro make the embossed gaskets ?
 
Needs a smear or more of silicone around all 4 water passages. The Felpro 1213 is embossed, gasket is ,063 thick?

Felpro 1243 for the 273/318 sized intake ports with the exhaust crossover blocked.

I apply a skim coat of ultra black around the water ports on both sides of the gaskets, not a heaping bead. Allow it to “fully” cure before adding any coolant. Never had any leaks using the skim coat method
