Yeah, bill, make sure you check that intake for anything loose.  To overlook 
any object, especially one the size of a nut, would mean disaster to your 
engine.


Don't feel bad about your missing nut.  I am the worst person about misplacing 
things.  When I rebuilt the engine in my '70 MGB, I probably had about 15 or so 
loose nuts and bolts.  I dunno where they ever went.  Damn British engineers 
just don't know what they were doing anyway; the warm beer they drink might 
explain a lot.


Seriously, I replaced all my bolts with stainless variety and the nuts were not 
a problem to find at the hardware store.  Be darn sure you get no loose stuff 
where it ain't supposed to be, and you will have no problems.


Forgetfulness is a trait, so if your family calls you a names, don't worry. 
They are in the same boat as you.   :)
