Thanks, thats what I was looking for. Summit has a 1.36" and 1.5" square port and a round port. Do you know which you have?

You may take a look at Remflex gaskets... I use part # rf2006.

Those are the only gasket ive found that will seal if the mounting flange is bent. I had a set of 30 year old custom headers on my Z and it leaked like no tomorrow no matter what I used, when those first came out I bought a set and used them for years.
