I had a little time this afternoon to install my heads on my 289 and the new head bolts are really neat, a much smaller head to put my 1/2" socket on. However, I was ambitious so I thought i'd go ahead and put my intake on too, but the holes in the new intake gaskets don't match up to where the water ports are, they're just too large n long despite the Felpro gaskets being made for a 289, the holes line up for the intake holes.
The other question; my new carburetor has an electronic choke, do I need the gasket that allows exhaust gas to pass through the intake manifold?
I bought the head, intake gaskets, headbolts from Summit, not that it makes any difference where I bought them from.
I'll go to Oreilly's tomorrow to get new intake gaskets, just need to know which ones to buy.
thanks!
