They are an older style of gasket. Mainly found in years below 2000. Its often the OEM replacement for 90's cars.
If you are able to, go with MLS gaskets. They are far stronger and will generally last longer. But you would probably be ok with graphite gaskets.

Should oil leak after a head gasket replacement on a '97 olds lss?

I found this online: I discovered yesterday that this 3.8l has 2 different intake gasket thickness's 3 or 4mm. I found thru here that intake gasket failure was common on the 3.8l. They saided that they improved the gasket making it thicker. So I'm gonna go ahead with the 4mm. Let us know how it went for you.

Will a Pontiac 350 head gasket work on a 389?
Maybe, it depents on the brand of gasket you are using, Victor Reinz makes a 350 specific gasket, most others brands are actually the larger bore (about 4.20-4.30) 389-455 gaskets. Measure the cylinder opening on the gasket. The 389 has a 4.060 bore the 350 is only 3.88. Make sure the gasket opening is at least 4.060 so it does not hang into the bore of the 389. If it does it will fail VERY quickly. The easiest way is to just set the gasket on the 389 block and see if it is the same or slightly larger than the 389's bores. Otherwise the gaskets are the same. The Felpro 1016 is a very good gasket for Pontiac 389-455 up to about 12.5:1 compression. after that Cometics are a good idea.
