Mark is on the right track.  The intake ports were moved when they made the 
change from the CC series engine to the CF series.  It sounds like you have a 
gasket for a 73 - 76 model TR6.

Or it could be for the 2000 cc motor.

Or you have a head from a CF series motor.

Check for port alignment between the gasket and the intake manifold as well.  
This will tell you if your manifold matches the head.
