Man, I'm hoping that's not it, but I think you may be right. I tried to tighten a few of the bolts, very hard to get to, and I could not budge any of them. And I'm missing the first and the last.... (more intelligent people than I would probably say bingo, dummie).
Just about destroyed my rib cage trying to bend over the high fender and get to those puppies.
I sprayed carb cleaner all around the intake manifold and no idle change, so I'm REALLY hoping that mean no leaks. I also felt around the exhaust manifold for air coming out where it should not - again nothing.
I'm dreading the thought of trying to tear that apart...
And thanks, gonna look for the plug in the manifold that I can use to get vacuum.
