I took the intake manifold of my b2200 93 to do a weber swap I figured it would be easier to get to the two bolts that the carburetor has hidden. I got everything rigged up. But as soon as I got to start it up it I here a screeching sound like I needed a new belt. Then I see smoke coming from the manifold and then I put water in the thing and the intake manifold starts gushing out coolant. I didn't take a torque wrench to anything. Is that Mabie why it's like that.[code][/code]

There is a coolant line with a tab that goes on one of the intake studs after the manifold. Chances are, it's on the stud, but between the head and the manifold, creating a nice gap.

Lol that's probably it, do you know what the torque specs would be? And that would cause a nice gap all around the bottom of the manifold right?

Ooooh - if that's it, hope the intake manifold didn't crack. I remember selling a used manifold to someone here who broke his doing just that, a few years ago.

do the tabs go on the outside of the manifold?

Yes.
