hey guys sorry i havent responded in a while but i been really busy with work and the holidays...so i finally got around to pulling the intake manifold again and when i did everything looked fine...
as for the plenum that looked good too...the gasket stuck out on one corner but when i took the pan off it didnt seem like it woulda caused a leak...
last time when i was putting in the plenum pan i misread my haines manual and torqued them down ft lbs and not inch lbs and broke a bolt...i tried tapping it out myself and failed and made things worse...i took it to a machine shop and they helicoiled it and gave me a new bolt and washer to put in...in the pic it looks like the washer isnt big enough...it does cover the hole tho...but the washer has a space in it, i 4got the name of the type of washer (its not a complete circle or completely flat) is that a problem?
Actually now that i look at the picture big on my computer it looks like the washer doesnt cover the circle completely in the first pic...i didnt notice when i had it in person...the machine shop gave it to me so i assumed it was good...
i just ordered the aps billet plenum kit so whenever that comes imma be putting **** back together with the dodge oem intake gaskets and hopefully all is well...i just got find a new bolt to fit the thicker pan and i suppose ill just use the washer aps sends me with that new bolt. In the meantime imma get the manifold magnifluxed.

The pinging makes me think....running lean...maybe there is a vacuum leak...check like heyyou says. Should not be much of a pressure breeze..but there should not be vacuum. Or the fuel sync is way off..The position of the distributor sets the injector timing, squirting at a closed valve is not ideal.
Another thing would be firing order, 5 & 7 are easy to cross. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, Drivers side 1-3-5-7 pass side 2-4-6-8
Just some things to check.....Hope you figure it out
The seals at the front and rear of the intake will not cause a vacuum leak. the ports seal to the head on the sides of the intake individually...the end seals will cause an oil leak though.
