318 or 360 identification video and question about exhaust manifold gasket for my car

The factory didnt use gaskets on iron manifolds typically, and IF the head surface and manifold surface are good, they are unnecessary. If you have pitting or corrosion, then the gaskets are normally enough to seal it up

Thanks for the info. I didn’t think so but wasn’t sure. The passenger side definetly has a gasket on it so I assumed the drivers was supposed to as well. I tightened a bolt down I missed that was still a little loose on the underside of the manifold Will test drive it in a bit. Hopefully it will get rid of the “ticking” sound. If I end up needing gaskets guess I’ll get the fel pro. I read on another mopar thread that someone used permatex ultra copper and it stopped the ticking sound.
