Hello all! new member here bough a 66 Calais 2 years ago has been an awesome car! Recently it started leaking from the driver side crossover pulled it off find out last guy forgot or never put the gasket on that side. I am currently having a hard time finding said gaskets for both sides of this manifold and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance for any insight!

A sheet of gasket paper from your local parts store, a razor blade, and a pen, and you could easily make your own in less than 10 minutes.

Or, a bead of RTV silicone on the part, smooth it out with your finger, let it skin over for about 10 minutes, install in place finger tight, let sit overnight, and torque it down the next morning.
