Took ZZLegend and flatheadmurre's advice and ordered from Offyonline.
Worked great! Tiny bit of silicone, and I did one side in about five minutes!
Now I wish I had ordered his intake set.
Good to hear Ralph. Glad they worked out for you.

Installed these steel acorns this week from Speedway. Needed a wooden mallet and a block of wood to install them. They are tight on the painted nuts and that's a good thing. Three were loose on the nuts requiring silicon.
