Louis,
Several solutions.
1. Get the Moss clamp which is correct. Clean off the furnace cement, if
you can. You MUST have the clamp and bracket that support the exhaust pipe
to transmission, else the rest is futile. I had perfect results only after
having that bracket firmly in place, and placing a jack under the pipe
whilst installing the manifold clamp from above.
2. You can install a later 69 on 1275 exhaust manifold which uses a 3 bolt
flange with gasket. You must also get the matching pipe. Completely
interchanges with the 1098 stuff.
3. Go with a header.
Hope this helps.
