Help me plan: My first intake swap ... EVER.

The below quoted message should be ignored and the Chevy person writing the below quoted message should stop posting advice until he himself works on a MoPar.

On a small block MoPar the distributor does NOT need to be removed or even touched for a intake manifold swap.

Just a heads-up. If this is a small block, you will have to remove the distributer with subsequent timing issues.
