Little trick for RTV.
Place intake down on engine and use a magic marker to line the ends of the intake on the valley ends of your block. You have the outer edge marked. Saves on wiping stuff down and wasting RTV.
One area on a SB that can be troublesome is the pass side front of valley. Pay attention to the bottom of your intake and the block mating surfaces so you get good coverage.
