Intake Gasket
Im replacing my intake as it was cracked, But took it off and went to get a gasket at napa and they couldnt find one in any of there catalogs. I need the one that sits between the manifold and the motor. does anyone know where to get one? also when the water was drainin out it just looked like rust. Am i good, or am i fucked? please help. thanks

Tap those into the coolant holes on your rotor housings where your manifold attaches. It won't interrupt any critical coolant flow for the engine, but it'll prevent leaky problems when removing the manifold. You'll be able to remove and replace the manifold without leaking a drop of coolant, so if you get an aftermarket carb or ported manifold you'll be able to mount it no problem. Also, it'll stop hot coolant from coursing through your manifold, which *might* bring your intake charge down a degree or two.
It's the best way to go, I've got mine done that way.
