My apoligies. I quoted him but wasn't specific as to who I was speaking to. Sorry about that.
Your progress looks great so far. Congrats on getting down to the nitty gritty. Bet your really starting to itch for that first test drive. I know I was at the point your at. Later Joe 
EDIT: Where you mounting the MAP sensor? I found that I couldn't use the bracket that it comes attached to... not that I wanted to.  [This message has been edited by Fieroseverywhere (edited 09-01-2009).]

Funny you should ask that. I just removed the air breather from my 89 GMC S-15 truck. It has the 2.8 V6. The diamater of the throttle body opening is the same as the 4.9 throttle body. I purchased a new air cleaner/throttle body gasket for this comparison. It appears that if I had a 1" extension the 2.8 air breather would be a perfect replacement for the Caddie stuff. I could point the snout to where I want it, and connect the 2.5/V6 air duct to the end. Instant Fiero type cold air intake. There is plenty of room to mount the MAP on the side of the air breather. Same as GM did on many of their cars. I need to mount my altenator on my engine to make sure it will not hit the altenator before I locate me a second 2.8 GMC/S-10 style breather. It looked real good there. If it will clear the altenator good I will snap a picture tomorrow before I put it back on my GMC.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 09-05-2009).]

I dropped off my 4T60E shifter arm , and the 125C shift cable bracket at the local welding ship for the trim and weld. I'll be able to put it in park as soon as I install the rear axels.

Nothing done on my coupe today. I had a flat on my tractor. These are always fun to handle. That is, unless it falls on your foot the same time it falls on your wallet. $45.00 last time I had a flat on a rear tire to patch a tube. Well the only charge $1.00 for the patch, $44.00 to take the tube out and put it back in. [This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 09-02-2009).]

Tractor flat was $58.00 today. I had just enough in my pocket to pick up these from the welding shop. $20.00 more bucks:
I had the 90* angle straightened out, I had the shift arm flattened and shortened to 1 5/8" I'll try to get this on the transmission tomorrow and try it out.
No other progress today. Tractor flat has put mre two days behind on work.

Happy Labor Day to all of you folks. Enjoy your weekend off.
