Well, I finally got the intake on. After having it milled twice, and wasting 3 valley pan gaskets. Ah well...

What I'm running in to now is that on the stock intake, I had three 'sockets' to the water area. In the front passenger side one I had the stock temp idiot light (as I think is stock) in the drivers side one, I had the aftermarket temp meter. There is also a threaded socket on the passenger side a little further back and at an angle, the heater line came off of that one.

With the edelbrock intake, I only have the two sockets on the front, and it lacks the angled one that went to the heater, but it also has another in the back that was not on the stock intake. This one is same thread and all...

I'm assuming I'm ok with these three ports, but want to make sure I use them optimally. Should I send the heater connection to the back, or one of the temp senders?


Thanks for any input!

The one in the back is for the heater. That is where Buick had the heater hose in 67-69, when Edelbrock designed the B4B, so that's where they put it. Heater hose connection moved to the front on stock Buick intakes in 70.
