#1. I seem to have a couple extra tapped holes in the intake that the M1 did not. First is the extra small sensor (fine threaded) on the top/front.
I used one for the water temp sensor (nearest the thermostat housing), but the other must be for IAT or something I am not using with carb system.
Will plug it.

#2.Behind the carb on the pass side of manifold is a large coarse thread hole, my assumption is this is for vacuum? My PB Booster vacuum line is pulling off the back of the carb on the M1. Should I change this to the manifold? Or..............?

#3. So the water neck on the M1 is not the same as the one on the RPM Air Gap. Does the Air Gap take the Magnum water neck or.......SOLVED!

Bonus question!!!What side of these Edelbrock gaskets face the manifold, the ones with the rubber around the ports?
 
Yes air gap takes factory Magnum water neck but Jegs short billet one looks so much better and the o-ring seal is nice.

Got it!

Now I just need to locate a 5/16-18 plug /bolt for that one hole.:D

Turns out the instructions are not correct, it is 3/8-24 thread.

leave the PB booster on the carb.
Silicone beads go to the intake side.
