you should have marked the distriputer and the actual intake before removal, if not you will need to go at it the old fashion way like i did , get the number 1 piston to tdc on the combustion stroke and point the distriputar with the number one tower facing the number one piston and leave lose enough to turn by hand and time by ear, you want to get it close , if you got a triming light that will help(use a white out pen out pen to mark your timinging mark by the book ,should be zero or maybe 7 btdc and dissconnect the computer so it wont try to compennsate immediatly, its a brown wire with black strip on the fire wall either driver or passerger side)if not what you can do is after you do all the previous mentioned stuff, get to about 2000rpm till you hear the valves start to chatter then back it off about a 1/16-`1/8 a retard turn and lock it down .if stil to hig of ide and the valves arent chattering turn town the ide which should be around 650-675rpm it might take a few times but dont worry the 350 are tuff

How can you tell if inlet manifold is faulty?
You will feel a miss at idle and the idle speed may be erratic. Try retorquing the intake manifold bolts, working from the center out in the recommended tightening sequence. If that fails, the intake manifold will have to be removed and the intake gaskets replaced

How often do the intake manifold gaskets need to be replaced on a 1999 Pontiac Grand AM SE?
Theoretically, under normal operating conditions, and proper maintenence, intake manifold gaskets should last for the entire life of the vehicle. To my knowledge, there is no prescribed routine replacement interval for intake manifold gaskets. Of course anytime a head(s) is removed, then new gaskets should be used in reassembly.
1994 civic LX rpms fluctuate between 1000 and 2500 during idle why how do you fix new plugs wires distributor fuel filter head gasket intake and exhaust manifold gaskets?
i had this problem with the same car same year and model changed plugs, wires, distributor cap and distributor, worked for a week and then happened again, the old and new distributor had a faulty Ignition Control Module. Its a chip that plugs into the distributor itself, actually cheaper to buy a new distributor or go to a junk yard(no guarantee it works) intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, remove manifolds scrape old gaskets off cleanly and install new ones
