Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

did you actually pull of the lower intake gasket and inspect it for the damaged area yet?
hard to tell in the picture you posted but like i said it should just be a lower intake manifold gasket, i knew i shoulda bought it when i had the chance
make sure you do yourself a favor while the cars apart
and replace the 2 plastic elbows, the one that goes into the lower intake manifold and the other...autozone sells a dorman help kit for like 3 bucks with both elbows.

Well, the gaskets were plastic... not sure what could have been damaged, I didnt see anything. but it didnt seem like they could have ever offered that good of a seal in the first place. The bolts were muddy and there was clear evidence of leakage all around.

You know i have been reading forums and Ive seen this "elbows" term mentioned all over the place and never knew what it was. I only see one elbow in the front though, where is the second one?
