I have about 10 pairs of these hanging on our shop wall-from customer head gasket jobs....Other shops apparently thought they could call the local auto parts store and order head gaksets... then the cars come here to be done the "right" way.
Use stock 86-7 gaskets, or cometics replace head bolts with ARP, and follow their torquing instructions.
Hope that helps.

You could use the Felpro 9441 PT. Thats the Felpro version of the stock gasket. Many have reported excellent results with it.
