I saw the reference to the FPR, just thought it may have been forgotten about in the resistor digression lol

I did have a leak caused by the inlet gasket. I hadn't tightened up the nuts evenly enough and the manifold was kinda on at an angle leaving the disti end end a bit loose and the gasket uncompressed. It didn't leak, but eventually the gasket got brittle and a bit cracked and broke off. Didn't cause idle problems though, as was small enough to be compensated for by the idle valve.

Make sure the gasket compression is even at either ends of the manifold.
