John:
I just put the head back on my 1275 last weekend and used the Fel-Pro
head kit. The part number is HS 21135 S-3, 1966-1974 (also listed as
22213) it came with all that was needed when the head is removed
except the exhaust doughnut. It looked like very good quality and all
fit perfect. The complete set was 42.00 from a local chain parts
store. The package lists just the head gasket as 1-21135S but I don't
know if it's available alone. No leaks now from the top end, but only
about 100 miles.
Good luck,
