Just curious, have you had the bathtub/intake gasket off on all those 'matching numbers' cars?

I've never owned one with the original intake gaskets, they'd all been R&R'd at one time or another, but I do have good clear photos of the block pad stampings as well as the block VIN# sequence stampings and matching VIN tags if you ever need to see proof to say, settle a bet?

I wasn't asking if they had original valley pan gasket, rather I was asking if you had viewed the complete pad. I've noticed that as a general rule, the 'C' is at the back of the pad and the valley pan is usually covering it.
