Correct Intake install proceedure

[Calvin C.]

Which is the best way to install a intake manafold? What is the best gasket to use? The guy who installed my rebuild used a racing gasket and it looks odd, I may redo the thing. The intake cast and painted.

I am using the 1968-69 Corvette Technical information manual & judging guide, to get my engine ready for instal, however I can not find complete details.

thanks

Cal,

I would recommend using the shop manual instead.

Calvin, paragon makes the closest repro gasket set for the intake, as Joe says the shop manuel will work fine for the install, but JM gives you the finer details of the routing of hoses and wiring.painting the engine and its hardware or aliitle more tricky, but the archives has many detais that will answer your questions, on what and when and was it chevy orange or not.
