I am getting a new carb and intake manifold for my 83' 5.0 HO. I am pretty excited. I was wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks or helpful procedures on the best way to do this. I have my charcoal canisters hooked up. Should I remove the EGR too? Should I remove the carb then the intake or take them both off at once? Do I need to torque the intake manifold or just tighten it snug? Gasket sealer? If so what kind? I am getting Felpro intake gaskets. Thanks for the help.
