Default Intake Gaskets

I am sure that this has bee beaten to death but for the life of me I can't seem to find any info.

351W, GTP-40 heads, Edelbrock intake.

What is the correct intake gasket. Mine seem to keep leaking if I hit it hard at all.

Hit it fairly hard and then on deceleration exhaust started crackeling and did not want to idle.

If I spray starting fluid on the sides of the intake the rpm's raise so I know that it is leaking. More around 7 & 8 but a bit around 2 & 3 also.


Side intake gaskets only, front and rear are holding up. Have had two sets of FelPro on it with the same issue. Torque was correct and checked after a couple of heat cycles.

I am starting to think that maybe the angle between the intake and the heads are not correct.

Any ideas?
