360 head gasket question

howdy, just bought another mopar, stepside 360 4 speed, the guy i bought it from dropped the air cleaner nut down the carb, not running, so he took the motor apart, then abandoned the project, i took the heads and had them done, then i went and bought a top end kit, it came with what i thought were the wrong head gaskets, because theres a few holes missing for the water flow, those were 76 to 89 head gaskets, so i changed them out for 71-75 gaskets, and found the same problem, there the same exact gaskets, its been a while since i built a motor, but shouldn't all water jacket holes have holes in the head gaskets, theres holes in the heads, and in the block, but not in the gaskets, i'm running 4027596 heads, which say ran from 71 to 89, so they should be all the same, any idea's
