Dumb Question!
I know that in 1972 there were no gaskets between the head and exhaust manifold but when reinstalling, does the side of the gasket with the metal face go against the head or the exhaust manifold????

Would assume the two bolts around the center two ports.

I would suggest tightening the inside bolts first to control any wrapage. That's probably why they have the higher torque specs for those.
