The intake manifold is where fuel and air are mixed on non fuel injected models. The air comes in and the fuel is droped by the carb. which then go to the cylinders. On fuel injected models, only air comes in the intake which then the computer takes over and the fuel is injected right in the cylinder. ( called port injection ) On throttle body models, both air and fuel are mixed in the intake, then off to the cylinder.
