Subject:throttle to intake body tightness
From:Bradley Flubacher

How "tight" should the two phillips head screws be that hold the throttle
body to the central intake manifold?  I was afraid to overtighten, but I
still experience tell-tale signs of a vacuum leak.  My performance is
drastically improved since I replaces my injector seals, intake manifold
boots, intake manifold gaskets and the throttle body gasket..
