I drove it for a day and a half but it had a whistle and I seen that upper intake was cracked around the left front bolt. I'm not sure about this so I'm gonna ask, will those 2 rockers being loose make the car buck(misfire I'm guessing)and the plastic clip for the iac broke does anyone have any suggestions on that I've been puttin some black rtv on it to keep it in place

You need a new manifold now. no point in hacking your car more than you already have... might as well just junk it now

dudeb...not to be a dick, you just need to pick a car and work with it for a while. put some actual nice parts on them, seems like everything you mess with ends up getting trashed or is already trash to begin with.

well like I've been havin to say in a lot of my threads lately cause no one seems to be listening I'm working on a very tight budget right now I'm just trying to get my dd back on the road and just so you know this is the only car I have been working on since i got it.and also remember that this is the MOTOR out of my 85, it just seems to be that I'm running into a lot of bad luck lately like wed. night I was taking off the flywheel bolts with a ratchet and hit my wrist with a hammer and cracked it
