Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) ATS Manifold

[rsaderlund]

Just recieved my new ATS manifold and am a little confused. If the hotter runing clyinders are the back three why did ATS supply a tapped hole on the front three? Would I be better drilling and tapping on the side feeding from the back? Sure does look nice though... now if the rain would stop I could get in on!

Thanks in advance, Robert

I would say it's really up to you. I don't think the temp would be "that" different though from the middle, back 3 inches. I just ran mine from the ATS spot. The main thing is you can monitor your temp... .

When you install it, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE GASKETS or it will leak ... just a friendly reminder.

Cool I was hoping I could just use the one they supplied. Yeah I ordered new gaskets with it. . tried of smelling the exhaust in the cab. One more question, if the mainfold was leaking pretty good at three different spots would that lower my boost? I could only get about 32 psi and thats with the plate all the way foward and afc housing.

Yeah with 370's and a 10 plate you should be able to peg a boost gauge with the 14 housing no problem. What are you using to control boost? Do you have a TST elbow?
