What intake manifold is it? For what kind of carb? If it's stock, what year? What kind of exhaust manifold?

Sounds like you have the 79 motor and you bought a later manifold with the EGR port covering under the main ports. Best bet:

Is this a stock Nikki carb setup?

oh then you have a 79-80 engine... you need a 79-80 manifold. You could probably either find and old style manifold or, yes, I believe that a header would clear this.

What happened to your original manifold?
