OK minor minor update, but some q's as well..


1. Under the plenum, that hose that connects to the lower intake.. how exactly does it attatch ? im really confused at this one..

2. i have the coil.. waiting till i get some bolts to finish up exhaust (well at least to y-pipe)

3. As soon as we return from Daytona, its full blown fix Betty month... ill need all the energy, luck (and any last parts you guys can spare!) because Betty has now turned into a NEED because i start Mechanics college/school June 25. !! YAY!

theres a tube that looks like an "L" - goes from that lower intake part to the bottom of the throttle body, maybe someone has a pic to show?

yea i think thats the one you sent me, a metal tube right? i dont understand how it attatches to the throttle body part..

It just pushes into the hole - there isn't an attachment on the pipe itself. Bolting the throttle body onto the plenum holds it on the pipe.

Take some pics and make a list of questions show you can compare them to the cars at Daytona next weekend.

Hey Bobadoo just make sure that there's an o ring in the hole in the throttle body before you install that tube. The best way I've found to install it is to push it into the rubber hose on the lower intake and then guide it into the tb as you push the tb up to the plenum. It may help to lube it slightly. Then install the tb bolts. Have fun.......aint engine assembly a hoot??

ugh.. a real hoot.. connecting the hose, egr tube, and tightening exhaust bolts was no fun

More connected etc.. getting close to trying to start it!










This is my OPSU connector ... does anyone atleast know which goes where?


What goes there (minus the wrench)

are you sure that middle plenum is orientated correctly? that last pic looks off to me, due to that boss you show.

Jerry, you NEED to get this wiring harness off of the EGR tube! On the 85-87 V6 engines, this tube normally has an insulating "blanket" around it, as very hot exhaust gases pass through it. The 88 tube is also insulated, but is done differently than the earlier engines. If you leave that harness where it is, you'll melt through it in no time. You can either tie up the harness so it isn't anywhere near the tube, or check with a local auto parts store, and see if they have some kind of insulation you can put on the tube. Either way...you need to do something with this before it causes you all kinds of headaches...
