Just trying to get to the bottom of this question....Were the original 383 intake manifolds from the factory in 1970 with gasket/valley pan/gasket or just valley pan? I have seen both claims, which is correct?

P.S. The shop wants me to mill the intake in order to get proper intake bolt alignment and use the paper gaskets along with the valley pan per AERA's and Hughes Engine's recommendations.

Pynzo...10-4 on the use of the copper, matches the paint just like you say!
