This is what you no longer need. It's also why your trans bumps around.

This is what goes into the old mount housing, which is planty rigid and plenty strong. The deteriorated rubber is the weak link.

Thin layer of Ultra Copper on both sides of the TorquePlus intake gaskets. Torque them to 45 ft/lbs like normal. Retorque them several times in the first hours of running to prevent leaks, as they are twice as thick as normal.

TorquePlus intake gaskets atomize the air/fuel charge between the intake and the heads, into even finer droplets. It allowed me to re-tune the carb and ignition settings and got me better mileage and off idle throttle response and torque.

Another advantage these gaskets have is they are twice as thick as normal intake gaskets. If your intake is warped, no problem, as the extra thickness pretty much corrects that for free.

These gaskets are all about 0-4500 rpms. That's where they shine and add in torque and fuel efficiency. If you own a heavy, tall geared Chrysler small block and are itching for a mileage boost these are for you. Over 4500 rpms their benefits taper of...

Looking at the square part of the casting that the pipe is centered in pretty much explains where to drill. BTW I saved teh gasket and had it all back together for zero dollars and running beautifully an hour later.

This protective insulator comes off the Denso with a 12mm deep socket. The stock 82' power wire has it's own shroud attached to the wire and does a perfect job replacing this one. Notice the two tiny field wire studs on the Denso ?

Now notice the two studs have male spade connectors nutted onto them. This allows a true bolt-on, no cutting, crimping or soldering installation electrically (thanks for the idea Mike).
