Exhaust pipe flange gasket placement

Posted by Icescreamer On 2019/4/2 19:10:47

Can someone confirm the correct installation/placement of the exhaust pipe flange gasket for a '48 288?

Does it simply sandwich in between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe? There are no holes in the gasket to keep it in place.

I placed the one that came with the intake/exhaust gasket kit in between the exhaust pipe and the manifold and tightened down the flange to keep it in place. Either I didn't tighten properly or it wasn't centered as it ended up shifting after a number of miles and ultimately blew out.

Excuse my ignorance here, I feel silly asking, but I must be missing something. I am about to order a fresh one and want to make sure I do it right this time.

Thank you for any guidance.
