On the heads there is a upside down U-shaped port that sits above the intake and appears to go into the heads, when we installed the Edelbrock Performer their gaskets did not cover this up, but we thought nothing of it. After starting the car there appears to be a fair amount of water leaking from this area, if this is supposed to be this way, what gaskets do I need to remedy the problem and if it's not supposed to flow water is it time for a different set of heads? -BD
P.S. The motor is a 78.
Will the last one leaving the US please turn out the lights.

Can you tell exactly where it is leaking at? The heads have water ports at all 4 corners of the intake surfaces but the intake manifold only has water passages at the front(in to the stat)so the back ones are just blocked by the intake gasket but may be leaking.
