Mr. Gasket makes a nice composite gasket for the intake. This works great on stock and aftermarket olds manifolds. I do not recommend that you reuse the turkey tray. There is ridges / bevels in the metal that are flattened when you install them and it is not reversible. If you want to keep oil o

I second Milton. Get the poly end link kit and also spring in for a set of poly bushings. These will NOT make your ride harsher, neither should they increase noise. For ease of installation, drop the car down on the wheels or lift the lower ctrl. arm with a jack. That's how it sits all the tim
