Oil coming from intake manifold bolts

[Dennis Wilkie]

Hey I don't know if anyone told you yet but those wire nuts ... WTF?!

Also like L31MaxExpress said, that intake appears to have had those bolt holes slotted for some reason. I know there are intakes like that for Dodge small blocks, you have to plug the portion of the hole you aren't using to prevent leaks ... I've never seen a Chevy intake like that though.

Way to not catch up on the discussion and start chiming in with minimal information.....class act. It's an Edelbrock Performer 3704 TBI, and it's never leaked once from any of those bolts in the whole past year i've owned it until now. They're slotted because there are angled spacers that are typically there, but they haven't been there as long as it's been in my possession, with no leaks.

That's strange, my 3704 holes aren't slotted.

Way to go copping attitude at anybody that throws shade on some sketchy work under your hood.. you're chasing multiple issues, you may want to address them before dismissing others' input.

BTW I'm kind of impressed this thread has made it to 4 pages on an issue that is so ridiculously easy to solve I'm surprised it's a thread in the first place.

Well, if he had read the comments, then he would have known that it had already been addressed and that i'm not able to control what was done before I got the truck, sir. BTW, NOTHING electrical is going to have any effect on the issue at hand. So yeah, it was dismissed, just as your irrelevant comment will be.

I can see that you did just that. Dismissed it, by quoting and replying. Have yourself a happy holiday, sir.

The equivalent of shutting someone up who has contributed literally nothing to this entire thread. But then wants to jump in like a drama queen with his worthless two cents. Take that weak ass Jerry Springer hoe **** somewhere else old man. As for your dickriding cheerleading ***** ass, I already told you to **** off once before. I ain't here to listen to 2 whiny ass faggots who have nothing better to do than troll people's posts just to be a ******* ********. I asked a legitimate question, and if u don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, then mind your business and keep on pushing. People like you old bitter pieces of **** should've killed your ************* selves and saved your wasted oxygen for the rest of us. Thank you very little, and **** you very much

You can remove the dash assembly without removing the wiring harness. This how to remove the 1988 to 1994 dash.
Remove all of the trim bezels for the instrument cluster, radio ,etc.
Remove the instrument cluster and unclip the cluster plug from the dash.
Remove the lower column cover. Drop the steering column down, remove the screws that are on the top of the dash along the inside of windshield. There is one screw under each speaker cover and the rest are between the defrost vent and the windshield
The are 2 bolts on the bottom of the dash assembly right next to the tops of the plastic kick trim panels ( one on each side) that face up. Remove theses bolts and rotate the dash assembly towards the seat. You can then reach behind the dash and unfasten the plastic retainers that hold the wiring harness to the dash assembly. A mirror helps to see the plastic retainers, it is a bit tedious but you can get the dash out with out pulling the harness. Just make sure than any electrical connectors that attach directly to the rash are disconnected .
If you take your time and don't force anything you can remove a dash in one piece with no damage.

If I left out any steps some anyone feel free to chime in.

Thanks. Wish I had tried it that way. Got it all back except for one 2wire connector near turn switch wiring. Also 2 single connectors outside firewall just as it comes out Cant find mating connectors. Got everything working and driving. Had to learn about plastic welding to complete the job. Thank you for the help. Happy holidays
