What is this 7" longsteelrodthat connects under the back leftintake bolt and connects somewhere by the firewall. I had intake off recently and it looked worthless so I didn't reconnect.

do you have a pic??

camaroeater

No, but I'll try to get one. This rod is 1/4" thick and is straight for 7" then at each end it turns about 90* for 1". At each end there is a hole so a bolt can go through it, which on one end the back intake bolt goes thought it. Im guessing its a brace holding intake to firewal to prevent vibration.

i had the same thing on the rear most passenger side intake bolt i forget were the other end goes but i remember that it was pointless! i think it may have even attached somwere on the otherside of the manifold.

ALMOST STOCK

Are you talking about this?

camaroeater

Yea!!....Thats it!!^^^^ The intake bolt that is on passenger side by firewall goes through the hole and the other end connects by firewall. For awhile I thought it was a ground or something...lol.

that's just a support brace = won't cause your issues
