Intake and Carb Swap
#43
Ok so I think summit either sent me the wrong intake or their application charts are wrong, because I checked before I ordered and just checked again. There are 2 more bolts per side on the oe intake than there are on my new one.
Edelbrocks website even shows it as correct with the same intake I have!

If you look under 351w you'll see what I'm talking about.

The new intakes don't have as many bolts as the old one because they don't need to anymore. I guess gaskets got better, but it says right there will work fine with 16 bolt heads with a 16 bolt intake gasket

I read that inserting brass female fittings into the intake ports (1 for water temp sensor, one for manifold vacuum, and one for heater hose) will prevent the fluid/vacuum fittings from seizing in the aluminum threads. Is this something I should do? It does seem like a good idea to me... If so, how do I determine the thread sizing of each?
