Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

The raised bead goes against the head, and the manifold to head gaskets go on first-run your bead around the water jacket ports and then lay them in place. I use the cork gaskets for the manifold to block, but they must be the peel and stick type. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry and stick them down carefully. Apply a dab of rtv to the four corners where the gaskets meet and run a bead around each water passages this time on the gasket surface. Then line up and lay that manifold on straight and careful.
