So I got my aluminum gaskets today in the mail and wouldn't you know it...they sent me the wrong year. They have me sq. ports instead of d-ports. Lining up the gaskets there just seems to be the difference of the bolt holes just slightly off and if i can file away some of the gasket to match it would be fine. I need these on tomorrow cause my Z28 is my daily driver for the next month and i have to drive 60 miles back/forth to school and with this nasty leak it can't be good.

I can order the new ones next day air, but that itself would be another $25 on top of the $40 already to get em here.

waitwait, so theres no parts store near you who sells header gaskets?
and also, if it's their screw up, they should be footin the bill to get them to you, not you.

I was able to order Fel-Pro LT1 header gaskets from Autozone. Depending on if they have it in stock or a nearby store has it, you could maybe get it tomorrow.

The fel-pro gaskets I got with autozone didnt really fit very well with my pacesetter LTs
I ended up ordering copper ones from pacesetter and they fit much better.

Alright so I ended up sending them back and got the right Aluminum ones Next Day Air. Now comes the problems with getting all the bolts in, oh what a pain in the ass.
