I'm still un-stinking my Stang. Any helpful hints on getting to the back of the drivers side head? I want to put the air crossover tube back on and need to see how the old owner plugged the the air hole. (I hope it is not with JB weld!) I am wondering if moving the vac. manifold and any other cables in the area is going to make enough room to get my hand and a tool in there.

Also, do I use some silicone or some gasket to seal the tube to the head?

I see this is under tuning. I will post further questions under tech. Sorry about that.

use a small mirror to see back there.Theres likely either a bolt in there or the threaded inserts. I would put some of the copper permatex on it to seal it up.
