[HWYSTR455]

I have headmans on my 71, and I cut the gaskets into individual pieces, per-port. Then I slot the bolt holes in a V, making sure I leave as much material toward the port as possible. You have to loosen all the header bolts to do even one port, keep that in mind, but you don't have to remove the bolts. If you want, I can take a pic later when I get home of the way I cut the gaskets... (I use side-cutters/dykes to cut them). Also, I've had really good luck with the Mr. Gasket Ultra-Seal gaskets, don't blow out nearly as fast. All header gaskets should go in dry, I don't care what anyone else says about that! If you need to scrape the old one out, you can cut a piece of sheet metal to use as a scraper, or, you can risk it and use a razor for a razor knife, one of the ones that you can flip around, the angled ones, if you know what I mean, and use that to snake in around the port (be prepared to bleed).
