So lay a 2x4 across the hood opening tie your fuel lines to that. And I'm not slamming anyone here, but this would only pay 3hrs at the dealership, even if it was my first one and even if it took me 9hrs to do. If there was a leak afterwards, even if it was unrelated to the intake. I'd still have to find the leak for free, to prove it wasn't my fault. If there was a leak from using a budget gasket set from wherever, I'd have to do it again for free or if I was lucky warranty time. But Damn if everybody doesn't want to call the dealer tech a thief and the dealer parts,stealer parts. And just as an aside, when you can't fix it and your mechanic can't fix it the common response is you'll have to take it to the dealer. To the guy who has too much money wrapped up in his tools because if you can't pick your car up at lunch because of a broken tool. Its going to be WTF do your guys use fisher price tools?

What is the torque values for the Manifold Bolts?

Looks like the Distributors was over torqued, seal was crushed on one side? Did not pull the Manifold Re torqued the bolts to 30 one was super loose ground wire attachment

I wouldn't be randomly guessing parts went bad by coincidence while you were doing this. Idling high it's getting air somewhere so first thing is double check your work,check for vacuum leaks,intake leaks throttle body gasket. See if there's an IAC reset procedure.
