I'd like to keep a spare head gasket around but I'm not sure which one to get. I have a stock head and Snyder's is my preferred vendor. They offer these two:

Not sure why that didn't appear when I searched their site.

The one handed to me by the Rich at Antique Engine Rebuilding is a Best Gasket 573.
It's going on with my 6.0 head.

Mike, is that the Fel-Pro gasket for Brumfield heads?

I get most of my repo parts from Brattons and use their copper clad head gaskets. I spray them with CopperCoat and lay a 2" piece of copper wire in the thin places between 2&3 and 3&4. Always works for me.
