Thanks for the help everyone. Following Dragsix's lead, I moved the rings from the head to the manifold, then using masking tape I positioned the gasket in precise alignment against the head. After that it wasn't too difficult to get the manifold lined up and install the bolts. I'm getting closer to firing up my new engine. Just need to turn it to TDC, install the distributer, and mount the radiator on the engine dolly.
