ATTN Nick Micale TA parts question

[TurboBuickSix]

I want to buy a composite intake gasket set from TA (pg86) for my ported 8445's and stock ported intake.I was pulling in a little oil from somewhere last year and want to eliminate the intake gasket as a possibilty.These look like a much better gasket than the steel ones.My question is which part number is the one I want for my application,not sure what thickness I need or which port size.My heads were also milled .007 but my intake is not milled at all,I was told it wasn't necessary.Also,I could not find what page the end seals were on that go with these.Thanks

I would go with the TA 1710A and .045" thick. For sealing the ends, we use the "Right Stuff" in a bead on the block end rails.
