I'm in the process of installing my dual-poass end plate and associated plumming but I can't seem to remove the intake manifold from the block. I've removed the 7 bolts along with the sensor and dipstick mounts. When I try to pull the manifold off the engine it wiggles a bit on the driver's side but won't budge on the passenger's side. Is there another bolt in there somewhere that the Option B instructions don't show? Otherwise it must simply be stuck... I figured I should see if anyone had found a solution to this before I put a block of wood on top of it and start wailing on it with a hammer.


so... thoughts?

 

theres a bracket on the bottom side to

 

Yup, bracket on the bottom side kinda behind the intake manifold. I think you may have to take off the IC pump to get at it. Don't quote me though, it's been a while.

 

There is a bolt sitting at the bottom/backside of the intake manifold. You will need to take off your alternator to gain access to it.

If you plan on tinkering with the intake manifold again I wouldn't worry about putting that bolt back in. Makes taking the intake mani out so much easier.
