In looking at the intake photos I notice a "bulging" of the rubber connection hoses between the plenum and the spider "legs" I have not seen this before. is this simply the effect of 36 years of heat cycling or something else?
I thinks it because the rubber seals are compressed a bit rather than being spread out when the screws were tightened.
