68 383 HP passengers exhaust manifold gasket leaking-head pipe connection

IT is leaking where it connects to the head pipe., When my shop put it back together they got a kit. They said that the original gasket looked more like a donut, but used what was in the kit. Where can I get this donut gasket or what is the remedy?

Thanks!

This is what was on mine originally and is what TTi sent me when I replaced my system from manifolds back.

My original '69 headpipes are a flat flange, same gasket as above, metal lip on the o.d.  I thought 68 and 69 are the same.

It's possible that the pipe flange was bent by over tightening. Requiring a remedy in the form of a suitable donut. :Twocents:

A donut style doesn't sound right, I had 71 model HP manifolds on my 383 years ago before swapping to headers and they just had a flat flange best I remember...
