That's great, Mike! You're doing a good job there! As for taking the intake off - why not? Four more bolts and you're there. GREAT opportunity to do some 20+ year old stuff. Get all new bolts for everything - no not re-use your Y-coolant pipe bolts or your 4 intake manifold anchoring bolts if you do decide to take the intake manifold off.Quote:

Hey Mike, do you have the original plastic radiator duct or the fiberglass reproduction?Quote:

Finally finshed my c4 Corvette 3rd brake light install, i think i will write a how to when i get the pics uploaded. Even installed a quick disconnect from a old BMW to help when the louvers are removed.
I took my car in for 4 wheel alignment and brought this service bulletin with me for the alignment specs.

I also brought along a few extra shims for adjusting the rear toe. Everything is now set up as it should be and I'm all set to drive down to the DMCMW open house on Saturday!
With the new shocks, lowered stance, poly bushings up front, and the lower control arm supports I noticed a marked improvement in the steering response and handling. The last step is to install the DMCMW front strut bar brace and the suspension will finally be done. I'm really impressed with how well the car drives now and it makes me feel like all the work I've been doing on the car was worth the time and money.

Went to remove the intake today, 3 of the 4 bolts came out great. The last one is very very tight so it is soaking in a pool of PB Blaster. :wrenchin:
I've got the original duct. You are absolutely correct - it is a shame to hide it!Quote:
