rpm performer avs2 carb. I made 2 metal plates with a 1/4 inch hole for block offs going into the intake. I can try some sealant what would be the best non harding ?
I use to use thin metal plates back in the day. They really don't work well because they don't let the intake lay flat across the head that creates a leak. Use a felpro gasket that has the heat blocked. You can drill a small hole in the blocked off area for some manifold heat. Seal everything up with permatex ultra grey. Edelbrock intakes in general have a crummy fit. Too wide and angles aren't always good.
Edelbrock intakes are crap. The only solution, and what I do, is start measuring stuff. check the angles/ front back taper and how much too wide they are. If you used the Grey rtv it has to set up over night before starting. I take a lot of time doing this with the engine on a stand.
i will try that next. if not I have a ported stock iron intake to see what happens
I don't know how to do that. it wasn't the gray one. would it help to just mill the sides of the intake .005 on each side ? i went down 2 sizes in the cruise mod from the start on the avs2
Don't mill stuff without measuring. When you went down 2 sizes on the rods that would be richer.
up 2 sizes from 65x52 to 70x52
Could be. Never seen that before! That's enough to grind an engine up.
