  What is the correct tightening sequence when replacing intake manifold? 1936 21 stud engine.

  When tightening any part that sits on a gasket, start at the center, and working side to side move to the ends. Avoid overtightening the bolts as this may distort the gasket, preventing a good seal.

  In addition to Super's advice, I like to just snug up all bolts and then tighten them to the correct torque value. This ensures that the part is seated on the mating surface.
