What brand and part number are you refferring to as a "steel laminate gasket" ?The two common choices are either the stock type valley cover pan, with and without the heat riser passages, AKA fel Pro 1215 and the stock part one with the hole and the other option is a valley plate the has to be sealed the the cylinder heads like Indy and 440 source sells Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

The FEMS96000 says its for stock to mild engines and the 1215 is the embossed steel laminate version which has the 4 paper gaskets Brian mentioned. They are both a bath tub design which look identical which is why I asked about the two different gaskets. I will buy the 1215. Out of curiosity, does anyone make a valley plate which works with e-heads.

I believe the ones that work with Indy heads will work with the Edelbrocks. When I had my block decked, I failed to have them machine the end rails, so the plate won't work on mine. Brian

Out of curiosity, does anyone make a valley plate which works with e-heads. what you are reading as a steel laminate version is a screwed up description as you have found out. The 1215 is the bath tub with the blocked heat riser , since the RPM heads don't have a heat riser that really does not matter. the gasket is sold wit ha set of the 4 .030 thick fiber gaskets , use them or don't , it's your decision. I think Andy F makes a valley cover that works with the rpms , Check mancini , they sell his parts.
