Thin layer of Ultra Copper on both sides of the TorquePlus intake gaskets. Torque them to 45 ft/lbs like normal. Retorque them several times in the first hours of running to prevent leaks, as they are twice as thick as normal.

TorquePlus intake gaskets atomize the air/fuel charge between the intake and the heads, into even finer droplets. It allowed me to re-tune the carb and ignition settings and got me better mileage and off idle throttle response and torque.

When the trans mount is out, the transmission tilts down at the rear, allowing unfettered access to the upper bellhousing bolts, that are normally so hard to get at from above. 3/8" drive stuff and a universal joint and it's pie to remove and re...
