Does anyone have a diagram of the intake manifold installation? I am looking for bolt pattern for studs and bolts, hose location and connection and any wiring for carb, choke and coil.

It may help to go to the library and check out a publication or buy a book on rebuilding these engines.

Using an aftermarket Edelbrok manifold, and carb. I bought a bolt kit, but it did not come with studs, but did come with nuts for studs. Wondering where the studs should be, as opposed to bolts. Torque sequence and amount would be helpful too if anyone had it.

The factory engine usually came with 4 or 6 studs standing straight up, at least on the four corners of the intake manifold. These studs facilitated quick alignment during factory production/assembly. They are in no way needed in order for you to install your intake...you may use only bolts if you wish. Factory torque spec is 25-30 foot pounds. Torque sequence may be found in the recommended repair manual...be sure to use silicone sealer around the water jackets.
