    First time replacing intake manifold gaskets

    First time attempting something as in depth as this. Most of it looks pretty straightforward. What I’m most confused and concerned about, is messing with the timing. Do I absolutely need to rotate the engine to TDC before removing the distributor? I’ve seen some guys just mark the rotor and...

    Perfect time

    I been messing with my 92 350 trying to figure out where it runs the best I put a new edelbrock intake and carb. Msd distributor and wires, new cam/lifters, gear drive and electric fuel pump. Seems like everything you read or hear is different lol. What do you all run on ur old small blocks?
