Hello,
I just picked up a 1965 barracuda with a 273 commando in it. It leaks unbelievably bad from the front and the rear of the intake manifold. I heard that the 1965 273s have a little bit different heads than 66' and up. Could the leak be resultant of using a later aftermarket intake manifold on an early 273 or is it more likely that the previous owner didn't use RTV to seal the front and rear surfaces of the intake manifold? Any advice would be great! Thank you!
