Re: Iron 4-barrel intake ideas (273)

[Cameron Hubling <crhubling@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use a later 273 as I did for my 65.  You're right about having to 
bore out the holes to a different angle. I used a Dremel tool and it worked 
fine.  You just need to put a heavy washer on the bolt to make sure of no 
vacuum leaks.
