I took another look at the manifold assembly that I have on the bench. Took out the three bolts that hold the assembly together at the heat box. There is a little clearance in the bolt hole that holds the two together.
Also found that there was NOT a gasket for the two manifold pieces. I have a new hot box gasket so that will be installed on assembly.
after everything in cleaned up and painted, I will assemble the manifolds but leave the hot box bolts a little loose.
After I attach the manifolds to the block, I will gradually
tighten all bolts to align the manifolds.
One step at a time.
It will be good to get the 47 back on the road.
Hot here in Northern Minnesota.........80's.

Will start to cool down next week.
