Intake manifold gasket installation help
Would the OP's first gasket in post #1 (FS 8553 PT-10) be for an early 273 with a 2 barrel carb intake?
I have a 1965 273 with 2 barrel intake, which has the exhaust crossovers. The OP 4 brl intake manifold does not appear to have the exhaust crossover, although the heads have them. It looks as if I attempted to use the MS9935 on my 2 brl manifold, there would be a gap between the manifold and the head in the area of the exhaust crossover.
I am guessing that the 2 barrel carb needs the exhaust crossover to help with the thermal choke, while the 4 barrel carbs have electric choke?
I don't think the FS 8553 PT-10 is for early 273 engines. I did a product search on Rock Auto, and this is what I came up with:
