Very early in the morning I dropped off my cardboard template and as Dennis at High Speed Welding to duplicate this in Aluminum.



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

Planning ahead once again.

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



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.



Test fitted and believe it or not it worked.



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



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

Quick Trip to Home Depot for some small hardware.



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.



A little bit of cardboard to protect the paint.





I also supported the suspension to prevent movement.



This Bolt !!



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.



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.



Dear Lord that was awful.



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



Correct length bolt has been installed.

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.



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



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





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



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



Final Assembly Time





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





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



Looks like things are lined up nicely.



So Close !!!

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