Dear Packard friends. i have a question regarding the gasket between the intake flange and the exhaust flange. I have marked the location in red in the drawing. This gasket was sent to me with a set of other gaskets. The way it looks today on my car, without removing the manifold, I don't have a gasket there at all. I can´t hear any leaks. Also i can't find this gasket in the packard spare parts book. My question: was this gasket not originally available? What problems will there if there is a leakage between the two vertical channels? Everything is tight on the outside. That's why I don't want to disassemble anything on suspicion. Thank you very much in advance , best regards Josef

No gasket used manifold to manifold. I have several sets of NOS steel manifold to block if you need them at $45 plus shipping. Dell

thank you for your reply. Best regards Josef
