Hi all , this must be exhaust manifold week...I finally got the fuel lines repaired and got her to run but was pretty noisy. The PO had the copper replacement gasket for the right side manifold so thought since I was having a good day getting things fixed that I would go ahead and replace the gasket. Got the bolts out no problem but when I pulled the manifold off it was in pretty bad shape and is no point in putting it back on, must've leaked for sometime. Anyhow I'm now looking for a replacement and possibly a donut for the exhaust also due to the shape of the manifold. The copper gasket instructions didn't say anything about any sealant to use does anyone have any input on sealant or just use as is? Thanks for all the help and tomorrow I'm planning on bleeding the brakes and hopefully I'll have brakes and will be able to drive her soon. Glenn
