uncleb 'Bolter U Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 69 Vallejo, CA	My manual says .006 on the intakes of my 261 Chevy engine. Does anyone have experience with this setting? Seems a little tight; would it be better to set them at .008 - .010? ron 1925 GMC K-101 5-Ton Truck 1936 Chevy Suburban 1933 Yellow Coach Bus Model 709
