I got the spacer plate welded since there is a notch that is
not present on the 65 intake causing severe vacuum leakage.
after that I bolted all the stuff on and Voila! it works,
idles at 650rpm,it's a 4gear truck,high idle allows me warm
up in half the time, It performs way better while still cold,
no more manual choke!!!starts better in colder conditions,still
gettin 12+mpg, more low end,better high end,no leaks,don't have to down shift to pass a line up I jes step on it.
All in all it was a good thing
the engine-60's car pistons,72 truck block,72pass. side head(for pcv hook-up) 61 352-390 head drivers side,65 4v car intake,64 480cfm 4v
from a mercury maruader,74 truck 390 spacer plate.
