I've tried everything and it leaks any thrrmostat housing that should be used as a best alternative than stock.
Or should I just get that stock one Mancini sells.
Thanks.

follow the directions EXACTLY. Not "that feels about right" you will need an inch lb torque wrench

also be sure the bolt holes are FULLY cleaned out and test fit your bolts in to be sure they are not bottoming out.

I'm going on 4 years with the stock 1967 CI 2bbl 273 intake (lots of pitting on the t stat side of the manifold) and a repo stock t stat cover.

NOT A DROP!

EDIT: I assumed you were working on a V8

I just bought a few of these to use with my alloy intakes. They are Cheap and will not interact like those chromw steel POSs.
Use adhesive like Indian Head on both sides of gasket . Dont overtighten .

do these retain the hose well ??//I don't see the hose barb..
 
Let the sealant cure for 24 hrs before you fill the system. I had the same issue on my 6 Pack.

I have REAL GASKET Tennessee on my Sixpack manifold, torque to about 15 in lbs, no leaks. Just ordered again for my '72.
Follow their instructions.
 
I'm all with you guys on the gasket just want to know which, what, thermostat housing should I use ?

Did you destroy your old one? The Real Gasket Tennessee will take care of imperfect surface. They get $40. for a a repop?

I installed this tonight on my tunnel ram and you are correct . There is no barb for the hose . I will use some gasket adhesive when I install the hose .
 
I used this thermostat housing from Tony's Parts.

Gasket used.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS I WENT AHEAD TO BUY THE GASKET AND THEY ARE ASKING 49.99 FOR SHIPPING TO MONTREAL (CANADA)
INSANE JUST 2 WKS AGO i BOUGHT ANOTHER SEAL FROM A FABO MEMBER HERE FOR MY CAR AND THE SHIPPING WAS LIKE 10 DOLLARS ETC..
I AM NOT GOING TO PAY 11 DOLLARS FOR A GASKET AND THEN 50 TO SHIP IT LOL

tHE FUNNY THING IS IM CLOSER TO THEM THAN HALF THE STATES ARE BUT BECAUSE WE ARE CONSIDERED "INTERNATIONAL" ITS THAT HIGH...

ANY IDEAS ?

CAN TRY THAT BUT I SEE THAT THAT THOSE REAL GASKETS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REAL GOOD.

Have a member close to them get it and mail it to you in an envelope.
