My older 235, a '54, does not have them. Should it? I.e. did they get lost along the way? Should I retrofit them?
Thanks!

Yes, the '54-'62 (all 216/235/261) engines had the intake manifold rings (the pre-'54 the 216 rings were smaller diameter; maybe the pre-'54 235 were smaller diameter, too).
Many vendors sell them (Chevy Duty & Jim Carter, for examples).
I would put them back in to help align the manifold to the head.

I wonder what happened to the old ones. Two engines (one pressure, one babbitt) neither with rings.....
