[AMC-List] Intake Manifold installation

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

The valley pan gasket has locating detents on the
corners that push into the holes on the head to hold
the gasket in place when you are installing intake. Do
that and you should be able to get a couple bolts
started.

You mentioned something in your post that raises a
question with me.  You said, "I can't get the valley
pan to line up properly in BETWEEN THE GASKETS and the
new manifold" making me think you are trying to
install a some other gasket along with the valley pan
at the same time.  Is that correct?  The valley pan is
the gasket so if you are trying to install that along
with lets say the paper style Mr Gasket intake gasket,
you will have a problem.

I'm trying to install an Edelbrock Performer intake on
a 360. The car 
is
a 1977 Matador Coupe.

I've got the old intake and everything off, and the
regular intake
gaskets are affixed to the heads. The problem I'm
having is that I 
can't
get the valley pan to line up properly in between the
gaskets and the
new manifold; it slides around every time I get the
manifold on top of
the engine.

Is there some trick to this that I'm missing? Do I
still need the 
valley
pan, even with the regular gaskets in place? Could
someone who's done
this offer me a little guidance?

--Matt
