would like to get together a list of composition gaskets with their characteristics and if possible have it archived. for the most part all the different MLS and copper offerings are pretty well identified through the vendors but the composition stuff seems a little more mysterious. feel free to add or correct information, a lot of info is from summit. i "thought" the mopar performance gaskets used to be the 1009 and the detroit but looking at the construction they have no wire and the 1009 does. prices posted are summit list without possible discounts.
