Right in front of me! It is almost as exciting as starting the new engine the first time. Installation will be easier since I used white grease with no other sealer on the manifold gaskets when they were put on in Feb., following Ted's lead. There wasnt coolant or vacuum leak. Thanks John Mummert!

I'm guessing that this is Mike's thread. So glad you're happy with it! Sorry for the delay on getting the manifolds finished. Everything thing takes longer than it should.

Yes John, its mine. Anything special on the torque specs for the allen heads. Given the intake design, maybe a phenolic spacer will be unnecessary. I'm going to try not using one. The intake includes a full assortment of allen head stainless bolts, and even a throttle return spring bracket. There is also a plug probably for the heater hose fitting. Mike
