OK... new intake gasket in, waiting for the 24 hours to start her up, attached a photo, the gasket installed was a fel pro gasket, not metal backed, but obviously installed by a previous owner. It didnt look in too bad shape.. maybe it was torqued incorrectly or in the wrong place or maybe wasn't th...

i need to roll the van into and out of the garage, if i have the transmission in neutral, while the manifold is off when i roll it will it change the position of the engine so the distributor will not match or will the engine remain in the same position?

I'm taking the dog house off tomorrow (weather permitting, it is currentl...

If it is the intake gasket, I'm assuming I can't plug the leak using that stuff that can plug holes in the radiator?
