Default My intake install tonight...

Well I started on it tonight at about 8:00 and I stopped at about 10:30ish. all that I've got left do is take one bolt (it's connected to a vacuum hose I guess, it's very far back on the passenger side) and put the new trick flow street heat on. I tagged almost everything so the install should go okay. there was one bolt that got broke inside of the block (it's near the water neck and it looks like it got seized), so I'll have to tap it out tomorrow and get a new one from work. I hope that I get everything finished up within the next two days. I do beleive that the only hard part about this will be trying to get some of the bracketry and what not in their correct places. And one more thing, do you guys know how to disconnect the fuel rails? I couldn't figure it out. Well it's bedtime for me, I get to go to work and work on other peoples cars and then come home and work on mine, sounds like lots of fun huh . But anyways, this better pay off!!!

Thanks guys, I hope that I don't sound too retarded, I'm just really tired right now, working a 10 hour day and then coming home to work 2 and 1/2 more hours. But it's all worth it I guess, did you just leave the fuel rails on when you took the lower out Steven??? Everyone that has done an intake swap themselves get on here and help me out with tips and stuff.

I work at a franchise of parts plus, I can probably just get one. I probably don't even need the tool. I just need to weasel the thing out of their, there is one tube attached to a bolt that's holding the lower on and that's it, then I need to swap over my TB and ****. BTW where did you guys put the salt and pepper shaker connectors, it don't look like there's a place to mount them on the TF.

You just need the fuel rail seperator. Autozone or advanced auto would have it for a few bucks ( I think $10)
