If there is a gasket there, someone has installed it
in later years.  The 440 did not use an exhaust
manifold gasket from the factory.

But before you probe much further, have you made sure
that the nuts for the manifold are tight?  Don't go
crazy pulling on them with a cheater bar or anything,
because the studs break pretty easily, but you may be
surprised to find that the problem is simply a loose
nut or two.

Hope this helps!
