jr's3800,
I have a question about your post. Those GM part numbers for the lower intake gasket and coolant elbow, are these applicable to my 1995 Bonneville SLE? I think I'm going to order the Dorman UIM and the GM lower gaskets and elbow. Oh yes, I have two more questions. On the Advance Autoparts web site, the description for the Dorman product is "Dorman Intake Manifold: OE Solutions™; 1995-2003 Buick 3.8, Series 2". The part number is 615180. Even though the description says Buick, is this the correct part? Also does the FelPro gassket have the metal inserts? Thanks again for all of the help.
Sincerely,
LeifW

First we have this...
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...number=MS95977
I believe that these have the locating pins...
Then we have this..
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...umber=MS959771
Judging by the prices you may be better off getting the gaskets and Elbow from your dealer depending on the price they give you...
I think I paid $50 for the 2nd generation GM gaskets, and $7 for the Elbow...
Being that you have a 95 Bonneville take the time to replace the Valve cover gaskets as well..

FelPro: The first design doesn't have the locating pins, Second has them..and looks a little different.
Metal inserts I think is dealer only at the moment. I haven't seen them to make an opinion yet.
Valve covers are easy on the NA motors with or without intake in place. If this was SC I'd suggest valve covers.
Overall opinion on the gaskets is up in the air.

jr's3800,
What are the guide pins? I assume they help line up the lower intake gasket. Do they come with the GM gasket? Also, the part number you gave for the GM gasket (GM Intake Gasket PN# 89017400 ). I assume that this is fine for a 1995 Bonneville?
Sincerely,
Leif
P.*. I apologize for all of the annoying questions. As it stands, I'm going to order the Dorman UIM. If you tell me that the above mentioned GM part # is good for the 1995 Bonneville, then I'm going to order the LIM gasket and the coolant elbow from GM parts direct.
P.*.*. Thanks for the hard work in answering my questions.

jr's3800, willwren, and everyone else,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my questions. I'm ordering the parts tomorrow. I imagine my brother and I will do the work shortly after getting the parts. When we're done I'll post the pictures and describe our work. Thanks again for all of the information. This site has been so helpful in keeping the Bonnie runnning.
