Tribute to dad

there is a small pad below the exhaust port on the 360(some were drilled for emission ports) that hits the manifold on the drivers side manifold,we did a lil' grinding to that and a lil grinding to the manifold where it hits and ran double header gaskets and the factory type with the heat shield,I'll try to find a pic of a head to show where it hits.




That could be whats happening to the drivers side. I wish I had posted before sending the money order for the 68 340 manifold but at least that will breath better. lol
