Thanks to all who've replied to my thread, and everyone else too really.

I have the engine and have been prepping all the old parts. This evening I
cleaned up the intake manifold and associated parts and painted the manifold
pipes after a lot of scrubbing and a quick rub down with acetone before
painting(glossy black same as original).  They look pretty good.  I will be
relying heavily on photographs in putting it all back together over the next
couple of days.

Hope I don't need luck, but I'll take any good luck wishes :)

peace
-Ry
