STEP 1:
Check port and gasket alignment to intake manifold and cylinder head. Some aftermarket intake
manifolds do not match Ford Racing cylinder heads. Position the gasket on the manifold where the
locking tabs (beneath the water cross over holes) will contact the head gaskets.
STEP 2:
Inspect intake manifold for debris, and make sure it’s clean. Check all threaded holes and tap deeper if
necessary. Check the carburetor/throttle body gasket alignment. Also look at the gasket surfaces for
nicks and damage, raised surfaces on the flanges can impede sealing.
STEP 3:
Test fit the carburetor/throttle body and actuate the linkage. Check to make sure the throttle blades do
not contact the manifold.
