Hello to all,I started my 383 4 BBl stock intake manifold today and looked under the hood and found a small dripping action from copper looking cactus shaped plumbing to the firewall,can I fix or replace?it started after I took a dropped one of the 2 clamp down bolts from coil a top engine.the darn bolt fell in the small mouse size whole,couldn't get it out even with a magnet stick,so I pried open the front of the intake 1/2 inch , got the bolt out,loosened all bolts before lifting front of intake,torqued every bolt in sequence 40lbs,started it up ,after 2 seconds engine cut off,restarted it went to check engine then going leaking at heater control valve,but stupid me didn't think about the intake gasket to new.or could you use the old one?newbie also,I appreciate all the help.also,does anyone know if this looks like the original gaskets??

Now that you have pulled the intake, replace the valley pan. No shortcut here. Find your heater control valve issue to. That could be as easy as a misplaced corbin clamp.

its leaking from the base of copper looking tube,you can see it in the vid.
 
Those 67 heater control valves are tuff to find. Maybe yours can be repaired. If not contact Classic Auto Air. That's where I got one for my 67 Coronet 500.
