- In this video I install the intake manifold on my chevy 350 engine. The intake is a edelbrock performer rpm. the heads are stock iron 487 castings.

I was nervously skeptical when I did this with my 305 today. I was getting the feeling I had just replaced my intake with a screen door. Much to my amazement, no leaks....so far. But two previous attempts using the rubber gaskets on the Chinese wall allowed major slipping. I though my leaks were coming from the main crank. But the flywheel was always dry. So I tried it one last time using a bead of sealant on the walls of China about just thinner than a #2 pencil. Prior to applying the sealant, I blasted it with carb cleaner and let it it dry. I cant say reattaching the manifold went smoothly. Its a lifted suburban and the manifold is cast iron. But like I said. So far, so good.🤞
Thanks for the video man!! 💯🤙
Very informative video thanks dude
thanks for watching and thanks for commenting
Thanks for the video.
I have an rpm air gap intake and it’s leaking coolant internally. I have everything torqued down do spec and the right amount of silicone but still leaks
The distributor cap facing #1 cylinder is a myth, the rotor on the distributor has to face number 1 on the cap. I think it's a little different with the vacuum type, which the vacuum should face at 6 if I'm not mistaken But usually where ever your rotor faces will be your #1 which at this point can be anywhere.
I know that you can run use any position on the cap for # 1. But there still is only one correct position. Using the right position will make your plug wires fit better, and the diaphragm for the vacuum advance will be in the right position, to where it can be adjusted without hitting anything. Also on a tpi if you don't use the proper #1 position the plug wires won't even fit. That's why I do it like this.
@@davidcraft4909 as long as you mark your distrubutor rite...and put it back rite...TDC not an issue...
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Yeah somebody told me that I could block off that EGR valve instead of putting it on that Edelbrock intake or you know that's just what they're saying I'm not a pro pro like you are but I know one thing that anytime you mess with ventilation sometimes you have problems with running right and I definitely don't want to have no problems with running properly so if you know if that can block off that EGR valve instead of putting it on like you were doing right there at the last part of the video I'd appreciate it all right appreciate the video bro thank you
Block off the egr is good...make sure you block where the vacuum line in carb or tbi goes
Yessir you can block the EGR!! I have a 84' Z28 Camaro I deleted the entire EGR/fuel vapor system completely off of my car bc it ran like shit no matter what myself or anyone else did to it! Haven't had any issue since.. 🤞💯🤙
How did it run with a stock bottom end, I have an rpm perfomer and I’m being told it’s too much for my stock engine. Nice video
It runs ok so far in the driveway. I haven't got a chance to take it out on the street yet. I have a video titled 40 series flowmaster sound that shows the truck running. I went overkill on the exhaust and intake because Im eventually going to run aftermarket heads.I actually had that intake on a 3/4 ton chevy and it ran perfectly fine on a stock 350
I have coolant in my 3rd spark plug port. No other issues. Could it be the intake manifold gasket? Or do i need to pull the heads? I didn't run it hot. 95 gmc. 350.
I apologize for the late response, but if you have water in a cylinder it's more than likely a head gasket or cracked head. That's just my opinion. Water only flows across the very front of the intake. I would say it's not very likely that it's coming from the intake.
Did u block the rear water jacket port of ur intake manifold??
no not at all
So it doesn't matter if the rtv goes in the little holes?
No the little holes on the top of the block are only like 3/4" deep and they don't go into anything
Are you Chris' brother? I had your video playing in the background and I thought it was him talking lol.
yeah,
Whats the best website to get a new and good distributor?
In my opinion summit racing. I bought one of their summit brand ones about 10 years ago and it still works fine.
How much did you pay for the intake
A friend gave it to me for free.
