11 October 2015 - Intake manifold installation info

Installed the intake manifold by 3 pm.  Torqued manifold to 20 lb-ft.  All manifold fittings were pre-installed.  Need to check intake bolts again in a few hours to deal with settling.

Installed the battery tray.

Cut four bolts 5/16 - 18 for use as carb mounting bolts.

Installed one of the carb mounting bolts and put RTV on the threads to seal it.  That mounting hole goes completely through the manifold into the intake passage. 

The red circle is the threaded hole in the manifold...that is where the carb stud screws down into from the topside...
