When you remove the intake manifold (and you don't have to remove the
distributor), remove the belly pan and you'll see the plenum divider inside
the manifold. Take no more than 2" off of the divider if you're going to
modify that part of the manifold. (A machine shop is the best place for
this since that can mill them better than any hack-saw or hand grinder.)
You're correct about the manifold TQ recomendations.

Subject: DML: intake manifold removal questions
to bernd:
hey, I was gonna take my intake off this weekend, but the guy at work
didn't bring me my dremel back, so I'm gonna hold off to next week.
What do you mean by "shave the plenum down?" I think it's somewhere on your
site, but I can't find it at hte moment.
and... do you have to remove the distributor? it looks like your
distributor is still there. I thought the dist goes thru the manifold...?
Also looks like the manifold doesn't recommend more than 12 ft/lbs torque on
the intake manifold?
