Did you try slotting the bottom of the bolt so you can hold it with a wrench underneath and turn it up using a screwdriver from up top? The one by the brake booster is tough to get to. You haven't tightened any of them yet right? Just a couple threads on?

Scorp I did tighten the rest of the plenum to runner bolts. Is this bad? The bolts have been sloted on top and bottem but why does the head of the head of the bolt have to be sloted?

Thanks for the help

Don't tighten anything until you have them all finger started. :)
