Will regular old Felpro gaskets be ok to use, or do I need the Edelbrock gaskets? Also, the bypass fitting that goes into the manifold I found at the local dealer wanted $83 dollars for it..will a 3" 3/4" NPT piece of pipe work? Is the heater hose 5/8"? This is replacing the Eddy SP2P manifold on my '84 5th Avenue, 318. Thanks.

For the fittings.. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/hehonib.html from Mancini..

And Felpro has always worked for me on just the Performers,LD340's,etc

Thanks Oz

Cool, will do then. Would rather spend 2.99 at Ace than 80 plus bucks at the dealer!
