340 Intake manifold help

And just because its on there, doesnt mean it has to stay on there.lol. Its not like you welded it together.
Should the day come that you just gotta know, a swap is just a few bucks and a couple of hours away.
But get to know that oem unit first.Let it be there for a few weeks/few hours.Get your ignition and fueling dialed in. Feel the torque, the midrange, where does the power really start, and when is it done. Enjoy the choke starts. get that figured out. ETC.
