So if I bolted up an intake to my brand new crate engine (306, e303, gt40 heads), torqued it down to spec, didn't run the engine yet, and then decided to use a different intake, should I replace the gaskets with the new intake?
I did re-apply the blue rtv to the front and back, but left my felpros in place. I'm wondering if it is a possible source of a vaccum leak, and if it's worth it ripping it off again to put fresh gaskets on.
Also, does anyone know if a carb spacer is needed on an air gap intake when using a Holley 80457 (600 cfm 4bbl) It seems the consensus is no, but I'm trying to solve what seems to be a pretty serious vaccum leak.
Car starts but won't idle without the throttle jumping way up, then dropping and almost dies, then surges way up again.
