The trick is to find one that is not broken or damages.
Too often than not, guys overtightened them or did away with the special brass cone nuts.
The manifolds have a tendency to warp. When I did my M37, I actuall mated up my intake and exhaust manifold and had them put on a milling machine to place them true and flat to each other. This was after having them rewelded as a couple of the ears were broekn off due to the above mentioned situation.
