Still haven't found the phone. About given up on that one... It will turn up when least expected.
For your intake manifold, you can take the old bolts out in any order. You can put them back in using any order as well, BUT just to where they are snug (or finger tight). Once you begin torquing them, they go in order. Pretty much from the center out, but you can find illustrations in either a Chilton manual or doing google search for torquing your 351w intake. I like to torque intakes in 3 stages. 1/3 of final torque value, 2/3 of final torque value, and then full torque. after you do the third stage (full torque), recheck all the bolts. i find that it takes a few rounds to get it all evened out. the offer still stands if you want to do it all here.
