Good point Jose, the manifold is at the machine shop now and the gasket will be used in reassembly tomorrow or Wed when the UPS man comes. Tried to rep you but can't! This is probably disputable but maybe to many exceeding the 1250* EGT for 'short' periods of time when topping a hill.
Never mind, its aluminum that has a hard time handling anything over 1250*.

The pipe plugs go into the water jacket. You'll have to pull the other ones yourself to see what they're for.

That's the only two? I thought there was one of the hex head plugs by each exhaust port. And two of the recessed 3/8 drive pipe plugs, at the number 4 and 8 ports.

The guy at the machine shop loaned me a board with emery cloth like stuff attached to it and I ran it across all the ports and it cleaned them right up. What a nice guy, he didn't know me but give it to me to use and trusted me to return it. Good business man, he will get me future business. Once again, story of my life, waiting on the UPS man! Tracking number says Wed night.

The square head plugs are the block drains, but you'd only need to pull the rear ones to drain it. They are actually a touch smaller than 3/8". I sacrificed a 3" extension to the grinder to make a removal tool.
On the manifold gasket/no gasket question. I installed a set of the fel pro's with the ultra copper spray on mine in 2006. No issues to date.
Flapper wheels do work great don't they.
