I just had to remove my drivers side header to get the steering box out. I noticed the collector gasket is blown, so I'll be replacing that, but do I have to replace the gasket that goes between the headers and block?

I would replace the header gasket myself! But i might sugest that you use a copper gasket at the header collector as this will not blow out and it conforms to minor defects

I would use a new gasket,they are cheap and you already have the header off.  ------------------

Ditto, also don,t use a cheap brand to save yourself a couple of bucks. Get a good quality gasket put it on and be done with it. A few options are Mr. Gasket ultra seal, Fel-pro or aluminum gaskets. Just my .02 JOHN

I'll get some copper collector gaskets and good header gaskets. All I have to do is scrape the old one off and lay the new one in its place, then bolt it up...is that it?

yep thats it and you may want to get some stage-8 header bolts. these things work I run! them kinda a pain to put on , but not as much as changing leaking gaskets... Jegs sells them Stage 8 is the company who makes them.. Bruce
