I have a set of 70's production Econo W-2 heads and im running hedman hustler fenderwell headers .One of the gaskets blew the other day ,so i went down and got a set of Mr.Gasket #5939's for W-2 heads and they dont fit my headers pattern.My heads have two sets of patterns for the exhausts .Which gasket set do i need and were do i get them ?The ones that came off of it were Hedman brand ,but didnt have a part # i could see on them . Thanks in advance ...

Witch holes are you using on the heads? Stock pattern or w-2? I would guess that since w-2 gaskets didn't work you are using stock pattern.

There are two different patterns. Standard and spread. Most but not all W2's have the spread pattern. Some have both. You can call Heddman and get the gaskets from them or at least the number and get them through Jegs or Summit.

If you are running headmans you have adaptor plates. The gasket is it the one on the outside of the plate or the inside to the head? The one to the head is what you bought and the other has to be gotten from hedman.
