FYI - Exhaust gaskets

I just had to replace my header gaskets because they blew out. They were the blue Fel-pro units and weren't cheap in the first place. But they did leak. Sucks being me.
So, faced with trying to find a composit gasket that would work, BroncoTom, who's always looking out for me (and help me spend my money LOL), sent me an eBay link for a guy selling pure copper gaskets.
Turns out, even with the shipping they weren't much more than the old syle fiber impregnated gaskets so now I have some that won't leak.
What I'm getting at is, these are first class and if anyone wants header gaskets that will not leak, let me know and I'll put you in touch with Mike.
I don't want to post his name or address on line as I've not asked his permission to do so.
He apparently has them for almost any model motor.

Uncle Skip,

I thought you were using Ford 406 cast iron manifolds.
