Do you know if you Mustang Ranch used cork, rubber, or a silicone bead for the rear of the manifold to the block?

Thanks,

I just went out and took a look a the receipt and the 7220 is the gasket that the mustang ranch used. Steve can provide more details about why he uses that gasket and the pros and cons of other gaskets.

It's my understanding that there was a bad batch of black Fel-Pro gaskets that failed over time.
