    "......Did you remember the dizzy gasket? ...."

    Good catch on that Firebird. A word of caution on that gasket....do not use any sealer on it or the first time you set the timing will cause the gasket to rip.

    As long as you're back there you probably want to take look at the oil pressure sending unit that is down by the base of the distributor. It's a part that's easy to bump when changing the intake and I've replaced several leaking ones over the years.
