Alright I got the manifold on, had to go with a Dorman, started it up, watched the smoke, drove it around and noticed the high idle (1250 rpm) of a vacuum leak. Now the thing is every hose is connected and none are very brittle or cracked. I also made sure that the intake was on the dowels too. What else could I be missing?

Did someone here post about a short they had with their PCM/ECM/ECU ground getting all messed up b/c of some mounting screws? Is this what they were talking about? These 2 must not touch the frame?

After market limited slips are expensive too. A selectable locker is worth the money if you need the traction.
