Just another update on my upgrading project. Yesterday I got all of the old COPs removed along with the old plenum and air idle control valve. After trying to bolt the tstat housing back in place I realized my manifold is cracked right on the seem between where the tstat sits on the manifold and the hesaders. Of course another set back!
But I just ordered the PI intake manifold with a conmplete kit like gaskets bolts and alternator cover. I figured I would need one eventually anyway so no biggie.
Ill post pics of some new parts that just arrived. Check it out. Thanks |

It's better to find and correct it before restarting the engine, than to restart it and have it blow out in the middle of nowhere.
But then you ARE making progress.
