Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: New intake and carb

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not?  I've always used the stock valley pan gasket (Felpro MS96011) and 
never had a problem with it.  Don't use the rubber ends.  (They're made for a 
cast iron intake.)  Use RTV for the ends.  This should be covered in the 
instructions with the intake.  

You may have trouble with the throttle cable hitting the carb.  Edelbrock 
makes an adapter for this (8034).  It move the throttle cable forward and a 
bit to the left so it lines up with the carb.  

On my son's 360 we had problems with the carb overheating.  You may want to 
put a spacer between the carb and the intake.  Personally I like the wood 
spacers, like an Ebelbrock 8725.  

Did you buy the intake new?  I'm curious if it came with a stud for attaching 
the kickdown linkage to the transmission.  This is listed in the installation 
instructions, but when I tried to buy a replacement from Edelbrock they 
claimed they didn't supply them.
