Father-Son 1974 Duster Project
While intake was off I reworked the tee for oil pressure gauges. Had a long nipple off the block and even though the sender for the oil light was on the side of the tee and the tubing to the gauge came off the top the vac advance came really close. This way everything is closer to the block and there is plenty of clearance
Got the manifold back on. Put a fresh coat of paint on while it was off. I used the cork seals on the front and back and the Spray 90 worked good. Used red RTV in a caulk tube for the corners, water ports and on top of the cork.
Didn't have a provision for vacuum to run the heat and AC actuators. Put in this tee to solve that and it eliminates a 90* bend in the tubing to the brake booster.
So even though I didn't want to deal with taking this all apart to reinstall a gasket, I did make some small but needed improvements along the way.
