Hi everyone would appreciate any help I could get Novice here trying to restore my GTX, I have my Intake manifold gasket/Pan and not sure about the U shaped holes in center that gasket and my Intake doesn't cover. Thanks

Another question Bee if You don't mind
Can I paint all of that not covered I'm using Hemi hi temp orange ? Thanks
 
Paint isn't going to hurt anything. It's just an air gap in the casting.. just don't throw stainless lock washers under the bolt heads like my painter did..

Thanks that sure looks awesome I see the hose going to back of Intake from valve cover my block has the nipple there I thought that was for oil pressure gauge if wanted?
 
As you can see I am learning and reading and watching everything I can find I appreciate it

That breather hose is just sitting there, it connects to the air filter assembly. Oil pressure sender is shown at the back of the block for a 0-90PSI rallye dash, yours may just be a smaller "switch" if you have a light only. Nipple on the intake itself is for brake booster vacuum.

That is the parts bin for stuff that magically disappears when you swear you just had it in your hands. Totally normal.
