The oval hole is for the stud that comes out at an angle.
The spare head I was using is a C7 I believe, my stock 68-er. I also have an EO head as well I can check everything on. Everything lined up perfect on the C7 though. I want to go through and make sure everything is good because if my taping job is off then so would everything else lol
Tommy....
send me your snail mail and I cna run it off on the plotter at work fullsize and mail down to you. Stamps are cheaper than steel.
Racin.....I have never seen an angled studd on the exhaust side?

The last six head that I pulled off of a 250 in a maverick had the angled stud. It comes off at a right angle to the engine, probably to hold the manifold in place while you put the bolts in.
I have had a 170, 200 ('65 and two '80's) and a 250 (70 or so) and none of them had an angled stud in that spot.

Thats weird, I wish I had a picture of it.
It was at a different angle to the gasket surface.
Funny part about it, is I just went out to my fairmont to see if it had it, and all the bolts are perpendicular to the gasket surface on that.
I see no reason to have an oval hole on the gasket if that wasnt the case, and I swear up and down it was real...

I will have to check my 82' motor...
on a side note, I think I am going with a light-weight recycled composite style intake....
or maybe I already welded up an intake
