Manifold Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skokie · 11-29-2003, 07:20 PM

Ok I have the new performer manifold for my 350 with gaskets and I am about to go install it. Which way is best to remove the carb from the manifold or remove the manifold with the carb on it? The upper radiator hose and distributor are the other things that will need to come out.Is there anything else I am forgetting?
Thanks

TRANS. VAC HOSE..
LINKAGE
PCV HOSE
MISC. VACUUM HOSE'S
POWER BRAKE VAC. HOSE...
I WOULD SAY REMOVE THE CARB....PUSH RAGS INTO THE HOLES
ON INTAKE TO KEEP FROM DROPPING IN A BOLT

THE REMOVE IT.....
CAPS...SORRY

then clean all surfaces very good....clean....clean....clean....

do not use the rubber seals for the front and rear of the intake...
USE SILICONE......
old indian trick......
use a punch,,, and punch little dots across the rear rail and front rail,,of the block and a few on the bottom of the new intake...
when the silicone sets...the little punch marks hold ,,,it in place
