wait... did you hear that? Thats the sound of the bolt extractor snapping. Muffer Fuffer. I blame you 281-318magnum. Just had to say it didnt you? Geez. Well looks l have an excuse for the new intake. Not exactly the way I wanted to do it but such is life. Everything was going great. Perfect hole. Dead center. and then.. YES! That sound.

If you have a Grainger near you, they might have something as well. You need a corporate account to shop at most of them, but I often tell them I work at NAPA and they just ring it up under their code and I pay them on the spot and NAPA never knows about it.
