I worked today and tomorrow so no forward progress but if you ever wanted to see the difference between 00-05 and 06-up style flanges here is your opportunity
06-up on top 00-05 on bottom


You can see when overlapped why I had an intake leak because the 00-05 is slightly off center when overlayed

 

Interesting, great timing for this thread. Would you mind showing a pic of the tool you got? I'll soon be pulling my heads and also have a new TB going on.

Thanks!

 

Here you go


Yost intake manifold wrench

 

For those that do this a wee bit more often, this is a nice add to the tool box. Good catch on the intake flanges.

 

Worked today so no further progress. But in honor of Christmas here is an obligatory dog with Christmas tree shot

 

Got my intake back on with the new flanges. Started tightening everything up and put my air cleaner backing plate on to align everything nice


Then plugged everything back in and relaxed the top motor mount

Then the horn



I did manage to put everything back on somewhat without locking down my pushrods. So tonight I will have to tighten those down
