Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

This motor is really starting to make me frustrated. I pulled the manifold again this morning. First I cleaned the surfaces off and made sure they were perfectly flat, then I trimmed the gasket so it fit perfectly and then cleaned it up and used some hight heat gasket maker to help seal everything. I then bolted it on carefully and torqued it to the correct specs and then waited so the gasket maker could dry. Then I fired it up and got the same result, bad vaccum leak and exhaust leak. Any suggestions on what to do now? Thanks
