Thanks for the replies. I'm going to put it back in tomorrow. I wonder if I'll gain any power after removing all that thick sludge from the intake? By the way, I had a real hard time with 2 of the bolts on the intake, no room for a rachet or extension due to a little ear molded on to the manifold, the lower bolts on 4 & 5. I don't know how I'll torque them. Has anyone figured it out?
