Exhaust Manifold Gasket Question

["Christopher M. Delling" <cdelling@srv2.ic.net>]

Hey All!  

I am fitting an old-style C.I. exhaust manifold to my 77B.  I have
ordered the new lower pipe, and the gaskets that fit between the lower
pipe and the manifold.  Looking at the gasket, it has a metal shell
holding an asbestos like sealing material.  I am trying to determine if
there is a "right side up" - i.e. should the metal shell face the
manifold of the lower pipe flange?  I hope this makes sense - tough to
explain clearly.

Think Spring!
