- I believe different manifolds from different years had different flange thicknesses, so your problem is not uncommon in a "mix and match" situation. Usually, shimming the washers is the solution. --

- Well, if your washer thickness was off by a few thousandths, it still may not tighten down evenly. It needs to be a very precise match, not just an "eyeball" match. In principle you are doing the rig
