All cylinders filling with water

OK....I realize I am not making anyone happy by choosing to torque them at my own pace. But, I will finish them tomorrow.

As for the intake. It is a single plane M1. It only uses the front water passages. It was sealed very well. Intake gaskets looked great. Where would it crack at in order to get water to the intakes. No evidence of any damage at all.

Is this a new intake ,a swap meet score ,or what ? What im getting at if its used ,is it a known good intake ? My Victor works the same way with the only crossover being in the front ,but you could get lots of water from there in a hurry if its cracked or is a bad casting.When you pulled the carb off did you notice water or moisture in the plenum ? It would be a damn shame to relive this nightmare all over agian (if it were my skinned knuckles and $$) ,and i wouldnt chance using the intake again without checking it completley for a flaw ...
