I could just not wait for the Threebond 1194, so I grabbed my Gasgacinch and The Right Stuff and installed my intake manifold tonight. Everything went pretty smoothly and I did not have to move the intake around too much to line up the bolt holes. I did however run into a difficult time getting the proper torque on the two " Hard to get to " bolts next to the carb mount section of the manifold. I bought twelve point intake bolts and the tiny 3/8 box wrench I was using was just not cutting the mustard. So I dug around and found a swivel extension, loosened the bolts in sequence and then re-torqued all the bolts in proper sequence to the desired 30 ft/lbs ( cast iron intake ). I then checked the " China Walls " and The Right Stuff looked like it sealed really well ( thanks for the tip on that one ). I hope to have it all buttoned up and running by this weekend. I'm buying an 80 gallon air compressor from my buddy and need the '59 to be running to do that
So how does everything I did sound to you guys
