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

Because I have them and they are useless for the driver's side rear manifold bolt. The kickdown bracket is in the way on one side, the distributor is in the way on the other side. The bolt holds the bracket, so to get to it the distributor has to come out. I'm sorry, that's just how it is. Maybe some brackets are different. I don't know.
Talk about digging up an old thread. And just to argue too.

All I know is that I’ve now removed my small block intake, 3 times since the last post on this thread prior to day, without once pulling the dizzy.

heres ya some pics for proof. Just because something is difficult, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. And to be frank, a simple ratcheting wrench is all I used.

while this is a poly, I can do and have done the exact same thing on a 360 turned 408.
