Intake Tube Support Bracket (( 07-11-23 ))
 
Very early in the morning I dropped off my cardboard template and as Dennis at High Speed Welding to duplicate this in Aluminum.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0962333-me.jpg

Picked it up after work and also some new bolts for the upper control arm.

A Couple Small Projects (( 07-13-23 ))
 
Planning ahead once again.

I applied some putty over the screws that protrude into the tranny tunnel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0675fad-me.jpg

I added some of the supplied oil to the vintage air fittings.

My supervisor

I drilled the final holes in the bracket that High Speed Welding made for me.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...13fd42d-me.jpg

Test fitted and believe it or not it worked.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...740d6fd-me.jpg

I stopped by Pro-Tek Powder Coating to pick up the freshly coated intake tube.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8e10016-me.jpg

I am hoping to have time to install it in the next couple days.

Upper Control Arm replacement bolt (( 07-15-23 ))
 
Quick Trip to Home Depot for some small hardware.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c621cb4-me.jpg

I have been dreading this project as my brain keeps telling me it's all going to go wrong. Honestly, All I need to do is replace
a bolt that is way to long. You can see I set the car up on the jack so I could take the weight off the suspension.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d2e1e8b-me.jpg

A little bit of cardboard to protect the paint.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5683b32-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...226b9d1-me.jpg

I also supported the suspension to prevent movement.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...87600b3-me.jpg

This Bolt !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fa0b5f6-me.jpg

Doing this by myself doesn't sound like a great idea and since I can't find my long extension I just stacked a bunch together.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f9c38d0-me.jpg

I covered everything painted as I know the socket is going to fall of since I have to become a contortionist to complete this task.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6c2f4ca-me.jpg

Dear Lord that was awful.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4abfba7-me.jpg

Anti-Seize has to be the most loved and hated thing when you are working on a car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2cea360-me.jpg

Correct length bolt has been installed.

Later that night I was back out in the Grage (( 07-15-23 ))
 
The retaining clip was bad so just a another simple fix. I wrapped the sensor 2x with 3M High Temp electrical tape so it doesn't vibrate off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c7e0a5e-me.jpg

The intake tubes are coated so it's time to install them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4eea707-me.jpg

Bracket has been removed and for now it's getting rattle canned with Wrinkle Black. Over the winter I will
have the fan shroud and bracket powdered to match the Intake tube.

It's getting closer

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...048a4af-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fff61ac-me.jpg

I can't believe the stud lines up perfectly with the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d65345c-me.jpg

Heading to Ace Hardware to get a USS Nut ( these are very thin nuts )

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c6d604d-me.jpg

Final Assembly Time

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...86dec04-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6d89646-me.jpg

While I am here I might as well install the MAF Sensor.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...540b1ed-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...81c36cc-me.jpg

I also installed two High Density Urethane washers to help reduce vibration and I will be using a Nylock nut to retain this bolt..

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5600cca-me.jpg

Looks like things are lined up nicely.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9e66616-me.jpg

So Close !!!

I can't seem to find the hose clamp for the filter and the best Amazon can do is tomorrow.
