Thanks to all who gave advice on this.  Problem was that I had taken S&S
exhaust system apart to remove engine w/o getting the gaskets for the S&S
system to put things back together.

Solution was cheap and local.  I took the section of pipe with the O2 sensor
over to the largest of the Advance Auto parts stores in town.  The young
lady behind the counter went away for a few minutes and came back with
exactly the right gasket.  Seems that same gasket fits something on 1969-83
Chevy and GMC trucks with V8 engines.  Gasket is Federal-Mogul P/N 85088.
