ok so my daily driver (1968 chrysler newport) was leaking all around the intake manifold ports. and im in the process of replacing the gaskets. ok heres the rub, i took off the manifold and there is no gasket besides the metal ones attached to the valley pan. and theres no sealant on the heads or the manifold. is this right? when i bouhgt the gasket kit i had to buy the pan and the gasket separately, but the pan still has the metal sides and the manifold gasket is two per side, almost like i should sandwich the metal in between the fiber ones, does this sound right?

sorry for the long question if its incoherent i will try to explain better. thanks in advance!

Last time i did that, it was on my 383. Yup metal valley pan only and a little silicone sealer. No problems yet.

Sorry took so long, the book i have says 40 foot pounds for big block intake bolts. (3/8-16)
10 foot pounds for valley pan end bolts (1/4-20)

Hope this is what you needed.

I believe the gaskets are to help with alignment issues with decked blocks or milled heads.
