RE: Leaking 390GT?

Before pulling the 390 out, do check the back of the intake manifold. I've seen this kind of leakage with a bad rear intake seal/gasket. There's a good article in the brand new, November issue, of Street Rodder Magazine about installing an intake on an FE. Some prefer to eliminate the end seals and use a nice bead of good quality silicone, ala, The Right Stuff from Permatex. Anyway, use a small mirror and light to eyeball the back of the intake while the car is idling. If it's leaking like you are explaining, you'll readily see it if it's happening there. Just an idea before you dig to deeply.
This thread, so far...
