'55 exhaust gaskets

[Michael L.]

Anyone know which type of gaskets are used to seal the pipes to manifolds? Are sintered donuts used? I have paper gaskets with metal internal rings for the heat riser, is anything else used on either pipe? If so, what is correct install? In taking out my motor for rebuild, I noticed a look of exhaust on block. More than I expected for short use. Thanks!

I'll be in Incline Sunday, when are you leaving? I'll probably cruise over in the AM, but not in the Corvette.
