Have you tried routing them under the manifold from around back?  I am assuming everything is original?  A 350 would mean a 3/4T?

What makes you so sure you have the right set? If they don't match up to the last set than they're not right, right?

I agree. Check them against the old ones, providing the old ones clear everything.
