You called it Bill. Loosened the bolts, re-aligned the intake manifold ant
torqued down those bolts. Runs like a champ now. I do believe I picked up a
few horses in the process. Didn't realize how poorly it was running these
last few months. I can even hear the radio again...when the top is on.

Thanks for all the help again.

It's not your imagination, it's running better. your headers create
a vacuum with each blast of a cylinder exhaust, which sucks in a new
charge via the open cross flow valves. If there's a crack you eliminate
that, and only suck oxygen in which back fires, causing more havoc, may
even ignite your intake, and crenate your engine.
