It looks like the intake gasket was it. I just ran it for a short drive, kept the RPM's below 4000 so the sealant could set up correctly.
Just got to retorque manifold bolts and change oil.
But car pulls a lot better, much smoother idle and acceleration, even in high gear under 2000 rpm where I try to get it to bog a little. Not that it bogged that much before.
Going to pull the plug to make sure when I change the oil in a minute. But it looks good. And I painted the intake manifold while I had it all apart, and got some new ARP SS bolts too.
