I do not believe the steel shim head gaskets are compatible with Aluminum heads. Check the Edelbrock Website for instructions on compatible gaskets. You may want to contact an FE specialist for confirmation, there are several that frequent and/or advertize here. Have you pulled and inspected the plugs? They will tell you a lot.
