I know it's a little late for this job but I find it much easier to 
install the manifolds when they are loose to each other. BTW, make sure 
you torque the manifold bolts using the procedure described here: 
http://www.mattsoldcars.com/RestoreAmerican/loose_intake.shtml. Also, 
you'll have a smaller chance on the fasteners loosening up if you 
replace them all. Fasteners do wear out over time. Dorman makes all of 
the sizes you need to do the job.
