Bill,
You should have had one of those on the number one & four inlets. Most cars
don't have them anymore because of the many times the manifolds have come
off.
I think it's purpose was to stop any leaks if the original cast manifold
warped. Frankly I don't use them but other may say they are important. I
might
have a few used ones laying around if needed.
