Helped my buddy install a prochamber...
Copied from our local forum, my buddy wrote this up. I am Nate(blue hoodie/jeans). This is Juans car and his write up...
So Saturday night the boys came over ( Nate, Bronson) and helped me put the Pro-Chamber on. We started at 10 PM and by 1 AM gave up because we couldn't get a good seal on the drivers side manifold. The next morning we met at Autozone, of course I went to Advanced Auto parts instead. Via Tele-confrence we got the parts we needed. first time fail, another trip and done. An Exhaust donut did the trick....worked like a charm. It was Nate's Idea that he stole from Will...
Here is what the Donut looks like....AKA Lead Gasket the gap was less than 1/8". We placed it between the pipe and manifold. Result No MF Leaks!!
The Dream Team
They lifted the car with brute strength but I wasn't sure about getting under it due to the amount of time the install would take!!
Bronson stepped in as the the lift consultant, as you can see I was too busy looking at the floor thinking! Hurry up and lift the car already.
There he is, consulting some more..
This is about the extent of what Nate could do after he started drinking, later he just started to make no sense, so we were down to a two man team..he was also the official Photographer.
After Bronson verified the car was straight and safe, we got to work...
Bronson almost went down due to a Knee Injury but luckly I was a Combat Life Saver when I was in the Service, I quickly rendered first aid and continued with the install...
Removed O2 sensors..
Watch out with the knee man!!!
Bronson had a flash back of his injury so I waited for Bronson to get himself together....
and waited
Wiped his tears away so he can continue to work...
Tried not to let him see me laugh...
After getting a good seal Sunday at about noon, I took it for a spin around the neighborhood..No complaints of course
All in all I had a blast, Friends, Beers, tools, and a Mustang. What more can you ask for?

Yup my driver's side is loose too, got the part number for that donut from autozone? If so I'm going to go get one tonight because the supercharger's coming off the car for a couple days so I can rebuild it tomorrow, so I might as well get the damn leak fixed finally.
