Ram Air manifolds were powdered coating including the flanges
Should I remove the powder coating off the flanges before putting them on the the heads are with the gaskets be good enough they seem pretty flush, but I don’t want to leak either

I'd run a file across it all just to may flat, even if coating remains. The powdercoating can have a slight texture and waviness that doesn't seal in all situations.

Use the remflex gaskets Gary and you will be fine.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
