I know this subject has been on here several times before,but I want to make sure, My brother in law is rebuilding his 35 B and asked me what side of the head gasket went towards the block. Could anyone help me remember? Thanks in advance

Here - from the book -- (PatB)

Install gasket with smooth side toward block. If both sides of head gasket seem smooth, then check the firing ring – the crimped border around each cylinder bore hole. You will find one side of the ring smooth. This side goes to the block. The other side has the roll crimp and goes to the head. Use new lead washers under the nuts in center and on top, inside the tappet cavity. Use 3/4 inch copper washer (this washer may be aluminum, copper, or even lead) on oil lead stud, bottom and in the center, inside the tappet cavity. These “soft” washers prevent galling so that accurate torque readings are attained.
