i took my intake off last fall and with the warm weather i can get back out to replace it. my question is i have dual port heads so which way do I turn the new gaskets, do I turn the rib side of the gasket up or down?

thanks for the help........
also is there a place to get parts in the chattanooga area i need some small things like gen.stand gasket. I'd hate to pay ups,or fedx charges for one or two items like a gasket.

There's also a place over in Dalton called American Foreign and Al Johnson's VW dealership in Dalton still carries a lot of air-cooled parts.  The best place to buy gaskets and such is the swap meet at Bug-A-Paluza.  You can find mail order prices with no shipping and you get to see what you are getting before you hand over the money.  Even if you have your leak fixed before then, I'd pick up a couple of gasket sets at the show.  You never know when you might need them.

Are you talking about Tri-State auto parts ?  Thats Joe . He has been around a long time

It is Joe at Tri-State Imports in Cleveland that's been advertising on Craigslist.  I have purchased some parts from him and think he's a nice guy.

Justin rented a house from him for a while several years ago.  Definitly a good guy to deal with.
