TPI manifold bolts... which go where? Some of them are longer than the others... which bolts go in which holes? I already know for certain that the 4 middle bolt holes are for the shorter bolts... but I have a couple of the longer bolts and I'm not sure where they go. any ideas? ------------------ 91 Trans Am WS6 Bright White 5.0 TPI auto Flowmaster 3" 2 chamber catback Trans Go shiftkit 2000 stall converter Built on Wednesday |
The manifold-to-head bolts, or the runner-to-plenum bolts, or the runner-to-intake bolts? ------------------ West Coast GM Shootout 2001! 1991 Camaro Z28 5.7L 5-Speed (originally 305) 13.25 @ 107.18 MPH Southern California Member: SoCal 3rd Gen F-Bodies Webmaster: SoCal F-Bodies -=ICON Motorsports=- |
should have been more clear... the base to head bolts. |
I think you mean the runner to plenum bolts. I took mine off in order but I have it together now and I don't remember which is which. ------------------ '88 IROC TPI 355, '69 truck 4-bolt, fully balanced, 9.75:1 compression, fully ported '70 truck heads(for now), Harland Sharp 1.6 Roller Rockers, Comp Cams CS 252AH-12, ported '86 TPI converted to speed density, Crane AFPR, Flowmaster 3in. exhaust, Edelbrock TES headers, all emissions equipment is still intact, plan on burning my own chips, many more mods and parts on the way as time and money permits =( Best E.T. with TBI 305: 16.11 @ 82mph Haven't been to track with new motor If you have any questions on converting from TBI to TPI email me at jdkchevy70@yahoo.com In memory of Dale Earnhardt, I'll miss cheering for that black #3 on raceday!!! |

Mine weren't!?!?! WTF |
OOPS!! BIG OOPS!!! I meant my runner to intake bolts, not my runner to plenum bolts!! haha my bad!! |
why are you telling me what you think I mean? I know what I mean. I mean the bolts that hold the intake manifold to the heads. Several of them are slightly longer than the others. |
Because mine are ARP and they were all the same length. The only ones I know of that vary are the runner to intake bolts so that's what I thought you were talking about. ------------------ '88 IROC TPI 355, '69 truck 4-bolt, fully balanced, 9.75:1 compression, fully ported '70 truck heads(for now), Harland Sharp 1.6 Roller Rockers, Comp Cams CS 252AH-12, ported '86 TPI converted to speed density, Crane AFPR, Flowmaster 3in. exhaust, Edelbrock TES headers, all emissions equipment is still intact, plan on burning my own chips, many more mods and parts on the way as time and money permits =( Best E.T. with TBI 305: 16.11 @ 82mph Haven't been to track with new motor If you have any questions on converting from TBI to TPI email me at jdkchevy70@yahoo.com In memory of Dale Earnhardt, I'll miss cheering for that black #3 on raceday!!! |
Ok I figured it out. 4 of the bolts are longer... they are the ones that go in each corner of the manifold. |
