to get it done?

[MI_Mopar]

so i am changing a 2bbl to a 4bbl performer intake and holley carb on my dart. now when i took everything apart there were 3 intake bolts that were shorter than the rest, are they crappy replacement by the previous owner? if not where do they go? and if not should i go to a junk yard and pull 3 orig. or can i get them from a dealer?

secondly, i need some type of spacer or gasket in between the carb and intake correct? where do i get that from? also this carb is a 70's holley carb, it didnt come with any bolts that connect the carb to the intake, where do i get those?

thirdly, what do i tourqe the intake bolts to?

fourth, the very short hose toward the front of the intake....should i get a new fitting for that or can i take the old one off and reuse it?

thanks alot....Im just new to this whole domestic thing! i have been into vw's for so long and this is such a change. once i get some of the basics down and establish some connections in all this ill be much better off. im a newby, but i love workin on cars so bear with me.

yes you need a gasket in between the carb and manifold, and can get it at any parts store. Same with the bolts.

What kind on engine? Need that to figure out the torque specs.

For the fitting im sure the old one would work, but why not get a new one as there are cheap and would look good.:snakeman:

Most of the time that fitting for the bypass hose is destroyed during removal.
May as well buy a new one. Remember there is only 18 lbs of water pressure there so dont overtighten that tapered pipe thread fitting or you may crack an aluminum intake.
One of those cheap service manuals would be a wise investment too.
Good luck

its a 318

35 ft/lbs for intake manifold. Make sure its on foot pounds, and not inch pounds.:read2:

Also might want to dip the threads of the bolts in oil or lube the take away the friction, which would give you an inaccurate reading.
