Ford 390 FE - Build A Low-Buck Street/Strip FE
|
Installing the intake is a tricky part of FE engine assembly. After setting the intake down on the engine with the gaskets in place, temporarily install the distributor and move the intake fore and aft to get the distributor lined up with the distributor hole in the manifold. Now scribe a line across the valve cover rail on the intake and the head on each side so you can reinstall the intake again later and keep this alignment. If the distributor hole in the intake is misaligned with the distributor, it will leak oil. View Related Article
