intake manifold

If its just a weep, you might consider re-torquing the manafold fastners to spec in the specified sequence & see how it goes.

That is something to be proud of. Not many people have the patience/ability to keep a truck going that long. I hope the leak repair goes well.

Another advantage to this job: you won't *believe* the amount of gunk you'll find in that manifold between age, PCV valve and EGR. I had the manifold off my '86 last fall and went through 3 cans of carb cleaner getting it all out. It really is a pretty simple job.
