Can a intake manifold leak on a 91 305 let coolant into the exhaust?
The intake could, but it is real rare because of the distance between the water jacket and the intake runner on that year engine. Most of the time that a intake is leaking coolant it will run into the oil pan and the engine oil will turn white.
Your problem if the engine is steaming white out of the exhaust and over heating is a Bad head gasket or crack in the intake or exhaust valve chamber in the head.
Need to magnaflux the heads for cracks before reinstalling them.
Check them with a stright edge to make sure there not warped too.

On a 327 Chevy which groove does the valve stem seal go?
The o ring style seal goes on the lower groove, the valve keeper goes in the top groove.
#1 should be up for compression. Both valves would be closed. Addendum: The above answer is correct except for one thing; #1 MUST be at the top of the compression stroke if you want the engine to run, and the distributor MUST be pointing at #1 plug wire. Recognize that the distributor will turn slightly as it drops down into the cam gear, so make certain that you accommodate for that. You want the rotor to be pointing to the center of #1 when the distributor is in place.

It could be leaking oil from the front oil pan gasket were the timing cover and oil pan go together. Hope this helps.
