    I have my intake boots recessed and the air box loose and pushed back. However, is there a trick to getting the carb rack solidly into the manifolds on the engine head? I have new manifolds and I seem to have a hard time seating them. A dab of grease maybe?

    Never mind! All good now. A little schmear of Sliquid Silver silicone lube (yes, sex lube) in the manifolds did the trick. And my girlfriend was wondering why I was taking it to the garage...
