I previously posted my heating problems with 65 Mustang w/289 that had been set up 20 years.  Tried everything and several of you suggested bad or reversed head gaskets.  I pulled the passenger side head and it appears to me the head gasket is the wrong type as you can see the front oblong water passages/openings from the block to the head were blocked by the gasket.  This is the front of the block.  The rear and all other water openings are not blocked.  What is the problem?  Thanks much.
