The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 1946 Chevy 1/2Ton - Intake/Exhaust Gasket

I'm trying to get my intake/exhaust put together, but having trouble finding the correct gasket. I ordered a gasket kit from O'Reilly that included the engine block gasket and the gasket that goes between the intake and exhaust. That gasket has the holes too far apart for the studs on the exhaust manifold. By looking at the pictures online, it looked like I had gasket 8597 because the holes were farther apart. So, I ordered gasket 8988, but when it showed up it was the same. So now I've ordered 8597 to see if the holes will fit my exhaust manifold. If not, I guess I can cut a slot in the holes to make it fit. Anyone else have this issue? I believe my exhaust manifold is for a 235.
