Default Which gasket set

I have a ‘76 intake with the EGR blocked on my ‘69 46 casting heads. So it’s been awhile, which intake set would I use, with or without the crossover block off ?
Matter of fact if anyone has suggestions on an entire engine gasket set, that’d be great. Don’t mind spending extra on a great set.
Thanks

Hard to beat the 1972-79 FEL-PRO MS90205 intake gasket set for 1972-79 intakes.

No, carb is a ‘73 Qjet. Kinda a mutt set up. I just couldn’t remember if I used the block off gasket based on the intake manifold year, or the head manufacturer year.

Yeah, with quality issues these days I figured I’d see what is good still. The last Pontiac engine I rebuilt was my ‘71 GTO over the winter of ‘07-08. I used the Fel-Pro KS2616 then. Just figured I’d see if things have changed since then.
If no feedback, I’ll just order that again.

I just tried or the KS2616, and no longer in stock. I see there are 3 different Pontiac complete engine sets available at Summit. Is the performance set # 2806 different than the other 2 sets quality wise?
