intake gaskets #'s

so I've been running very lean at idle. I finally traced it to a vacuum leak between the Edelbrock Hi-Flo Base and my Brodix 200IK heads. I pulled the lower intake today and noticed that the intake gasket GM# 10159409 that Edlebrock calls for the intake is to small and doesn't cover the top 1/16" of the runner in my heads. My engine builder originally had Fel Pro #1205 installed on my setup. So what intake gaskets do you guys suggest for a 200cc head to Edelbrock Hi-flo lower intake. 1205,1206? Thanks

leaning toward the Fel Pro 1205s, just want to confirm before ordering them.

Re: intake gaskets #'s

I would agree with ur choice. To be safe check with the tech dept from both manufacturers and see if there is a similarity in their recommendations. Good luck!
