Have you ever used these intake gaskets and if so, were you pleased with them?

Do you have the Fel Pro part number # ( I am running rectangle port Big Block) ? I have been looking for the block off inserts they didn't come with the Edelbrock gaskets recommended for my new Edelbrock intake.
I would actually like to buy just the block off insert. If anyone can help?

Those are good if you commonly drop nuts and bolts down your intake, but otherwise

I think the gasket set you want for rectangular ports is the Felpro 1211.

My Bulls**t detector is pegged !! Don't spend all afternoon busting your tail installing questionable gaskets, just use the correct fel-pro gaskets and you're done !

I can see these getting gummed up with crapola pretty quick.
