Exhaust Manifold Gasket

[Mark E Blitman <Fedsales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi elijah...have the '74 manual and it says it has a gasket...will try the
bolts to see if they are loose...plenty of exhaust is moving out the tail
pipe(burns your hand) so no restrictions evident..no leaks are felt...car
burns real clean and runs lean like a  '77-78 Lean Burn engine that actually
worked....
