and a CMM.

Otherwise it's going to take you a minute to do all the set-ups accurately and then figuring per plane.
I know how to measure the manifold using dowel pins; was just trying to save the 5 min setup time. You know, being lazy! But, I had forgotten about tooling balls. That's a great idea. Probably best to use a factory intake vs an old aftermarket one as hopefully they're machined more accurately-- but that's probably wishful thinking.
