I have been having some issues with my H running a little goofy. After viewing a few posts on this website, I am going to replace the manifold gasket this weekend on my '44 H. Any words of wisdom or helpful hints on doing the job?
 
just make sure mating surfaces are clean, check manifold for warpage or cracks.make sure you have the flat washers behind nuts so it can grow and shrink as needed. torque to spec.fire up engine and heat up manifold and retorque.
 
You should have the thick manifold washers on the four studs where the manifold is split. WHile you have it iff, take it to a shop and have it planed just enough to be perfecr flat. Then sandblast, paint your choice of color with hi temp manifold paint and install.

I was going to say leave the carb and gov hooked up if you can and try and sneak the gasket in.
I hate getting that tang lined up with the gov tube. It is also a PITA to get the nut on the backside of the carb.

I understand where you're coming from, but you'll never get the mating surfaces cleaned up good enough without total disassembly.

You will only meet with failure and you will be buying another manifold gasket. Do it right the first time and it will be done for a good, long time.
