Unknown Gaskets???

I am doing a head gasket job on my 1995 F150 5.0L. On the back of the cylinder heads, where the air pipe bolts to it, upon removal, the gaskets tore. The FelPro gasket kit came with only one. I've called the local parts stores, and none of them can look it up, because they don't know what it is called. I explained to them, that it is the pipe that comes from the air pump, to the back of the cylinder heads. But, they just can't look it up because they can't put a name to it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Buy a sheet of gasket paper and cut one? Or use Red Permatex and no gasket. It's only hot air.

I'm not 100% sure, but I didn't think that there was gasket between the pipe and the head... its not called for on any Ford diagrams that I could find.

Ford basic part number 9C435 = Exhaust Air Supply Tube Gasket .. but there's none listed for your application.

I see pics of the puppies for 351W's (thru 1987), 460's, but none for a 302 after 1980.
