Header Gasket Missing, where to find one?

[Rust Bucket]

My roommate is mounting a pair of used headers to his '74 CJ5 AMC 304 . Here's the problem, since the headers are used, they did not come with a gasket. I've helped him call around and we can't find anyone that can order the replacement. Where do you find a replacement gasket???

One auto parts store said he could use a small block chevy gasket and modify it with a razor blade. That seems ridiculous since this is a fairly common engine.

Any suggestions?
