| RE: Edelbrock SP2P & FEL-PRO gaskets |

This is one of those things that you don't want to hear. The entire line of SP2P intakes was an abysmal attempt by Edelbrock to address the fuel shortage of the 70s with a manifold that would improve mileage and low-rpm drivability for folks who couldn't run out and buy a Datsun 210. Let's face it, engine efficiency technologies weren't a well-developed area for anyone -including the auto companies. There were a lot of gimmick products on the market over those years as the public had a voracious appetite for anything that would satiate their anxieties (much like duct tape to seal up your house from terrorists is working today) and Edelbrock wasn't above the frey in that regard. Hence, the SP2P. They weren't worth the aluminum they were cast from and did nothing really beneficial. As far as its standing today, it's a conversation piece and shouldn't be considered for use. So your only market for this inadequate period piece is eBay where some unsuspecting bidders can get energized in a bidding war on a manifold they know nothing about.
Regarding Felpro gaskets. I use them and haven't ever had any problems. Some folks say they do but I have no idea why some people do alright and others not. ROL, Victor and others are just as good and better in some regards so just use a good quality gasket no matter whose name is on the package.
