Re: 4.3L Vortec Manifold Gasket Replace/Spider Upgrade

I just did this (intake manifold gaskets) on my Wife's 2001 Blazer. Total PITA, but worth it in the long run. I left the entire upper plenum and TB attached as one whole unit since I did not do the FI upgrade.

Nice job on the descriptions and the pics!
