Default Installing TB/Plenum today

I know its not that difficult.. but is there anything I should know about before the install? How long does it take? Im pretty mechanically inclined..Ive changed heads on an LT1. But thats a bit different Thanks!!

Just be careful removing the TPS screws. They are locktited in and you can bugger the screw heads pretty easily. Take your time and you'll be OK[8D]

Other than that, just remember where everything goes! I'm not mechanically inclined at all and the entire install took 45 minutes.

you will have to watch the throttle body when installing the end of the throttle cable you may need to get a piece of sand paper and sand down the piece at the end of the cable to fit into the throttle body fitting(it can be very snug) and it will be a lot easier to install. i had to do this with my BBK...........
