    I have a 1950 Styleline it’s been swapped with a 1960 235 and has a edlebrock intake running dual carbs. I took the carbs off to rebuild them because they were leaking and I cannot find the correct gasket for where the intake meets the header. The gasket kit I got had the wrong one included. Anyone know where I can find the correct gasket? I’ve been searching everywhere. Thank you.

    That's not a header, that's an exhaust manifold. Find the casting number on it, look up what it was originally used on, and find that gasket set. Post pictures of ALL the numbers on the manifold, if you want help figuring it out.

    I don’t see a casting number anywhere on the manifold. Just the firing order unless it’s on the backside where it meets the head.

    could be on the back side.

    Chevy changed the size of the ports and stuff just a tiny bit when they went from 216 to 235, so my guess is it might be a 216 manifold, but it's really hard to tell without more info.

    The gasket is different for 216 and 235. Note the measurements. The filling station in Oregon usually has the best info for older Chevy parts Chevs of the 40s is often more expensive but if you are in a hurry they usually get stuff to you faster. With the Filling station my experience is that you often have to do a more generic search and then scroll rather than search for a specific name item.

    Worst case, get a sheet of grafoil gasket material and make the gasket on your own.
