One more BIG help with intake manifolds: Make a handle from a dowel or
piece of pipe, just long enough to reach diagonally across the carburetor
flange. Put a hole in each end of it with long 3/8-16 bolts into
diagonally opposite carb flange holes. When I last had to do the job 5+
years ago, I was easily able to lower the iron manifold onto guide pins (as
suggested by Rob) and into position -- alone. Today, at 80, maybe not so
easily. :-)
