I’ve ordered header gaskets for my 512 ci Eldabrock Victor max wedge heads twice. And both are to small. Does anyone know what actual brand that will fit and is durable so I won’t be getting an exhaust leak all the time. I’ve ordered fel pro 1414 gaskets and ACE gasket 4064. Neither fit!!! HELP!!!!!
 
Ask Edelbrock?
I’ve called three times and was put in the Q over a hr every time and I just hung up. I’ll give it a try again next week. I just don’t understand how you can call summit and tell them what heads you have and they can’t cross reference to find the part you need.
 
I use right stuff and no gasket on my stuff. However if you want a gasket, TTI gaskets are pretty nice and work well. Either that or the dead soft aluminum ones work well also.
I want the copper or aluminum one so I don’t have to worry about blowing out the header gaskets. I know eventually they will blow out but with the victor heads and it being so tight in a 72 duster I’m just trying to cover my bases and making my life easier with the upkeep on the car. If there is such a thing in a 72 A body car with a 512 Victor headed motor in the engine bay. I’m thinking now I should have built a stroker small block and called it a day!
 
Try Superformance Products gaskets. Specify for original maxwedge. 440 gaskets won't be big enough.
What size header tubing are you using? I have 2" hookers on my iron max heads. Mr Gaskets FOR MAX HEADS have worked fine for me for years. I don't recall the part#.

I’m using TTI 2” headers. Thanks for the info I’ll definitely be giving them a call. Thanks
 

Thanks for the heads up on the right size gaskets I’ll need. Unfortunately I didn’t get the instructions from my engine builder and he retired right after he finished my engine. And my car and engine has been at friends shop for about 15 months just sitting waiting for him to finish a few projects to get started on it. And he just started on it last week.

I ordered these gaskets and strangely there a tad to small go figure.
