ok i put my intake an chrome valve covers today . well after getting it all together . i started addinfg anti freeze an it start leaking mid way back under the car ? any ideas ? do these cars have trans cooolers ? it was dark by the time this problem showed up . any help would be appriciated . here a pick of it after i got the intake on an valve covers on . :

 

mid way back under the car? leaking from the rear intake port area? was their a leak before you changed the intake?

 

Water only runs through the front of the intake, not the rear. Leaks can travel away from thier originating point, but unless this car is parked with the front in a "way up" attitute, my guess is that the leak is somewhere else, like possibly the heater hoses.

Edit: Come to think of it, although the intake does not pass water, it does in fact seal the ports off from the rear of the heads. Potential for a leak there.

 

no leaks until after i changed the intake .the car wasn't jacked up at all
i've worked on alot of cars but this a first for me to . was to dark last night to search for the problem so i jus thought i'd ask around . i guess if i didn't get it sealed up good it could be running back down thr tranny an dripping that far back . damn i hate to have to take this thing back off .

 

glad you fixed the misinformation. very likely that is the culprit. i put rtv around the water jacket ports because more often then not they are corroded and pitted.

 

i pulled the intake again an put black rtv on both sides of the gasket around every hole por an a lot thicker on the ends . i read some where to let it setup for 24 hr before adding water an trying to run it . so we'll see tommmorrow .
it was leaking on the back end of the intake . guess i''ll change the oil in the morning also before starting it .lol

 

i do have a questin tho .this manifold only has the one prot for vacum . can i tee int that line for my brakes or can i use the pvc vacum line for brakes ?

 

 

Part number? I need that exact fitting. Part stores up here stock very little "one off" things like this so I just order stuff from summit.

EDIT: Think I found it... Performance Stainless Steel p/n 1044.

thanks guys for all the help . she'a alive . now i need to do a oil change an reflush the tradiater an refill it again . she's idling a little higher with this intake on . i only let it run for a min just to make sure it would start . changing all fluids tommorrow an start the tuning process again .lol

 

no coolant throws the cts sensor off that would change idle some.

 

i jus had straight water yesterday to make sure i fixed the leak .
