Keep looking, concentrating your search around the intake
manifold.  Try to isolate where you spray the ether -- a paper
towel tube might help.  Cut a slot on the side of the tube for
the hose, and place it over each fuel injector, in turn, spraying 
ether into the tube.  That may pinpoint the leak to a specific
injector.

Another thought:  it is possible the previous owner had the 
intake manifold off, and they didn't do a good job with the
(replacement?) gasket, causing an air leak at the intake 
manifold itself.

Keeping plugging away at this.  I'm sure many of us are
looking forware to a final "it's fixed" message from you. :)
