So, it’s been about two years since I’ve done anything with the car…<\/p>\n
Last night, I found all the bits of the intake manifold and started to re-assemble it. There was a lot of cleaning up that needed to be done, but basically, I used a dremel brush attachment to get most of the crud off of the lower intake and then hosed down both the lower and upper intake. I was going to complete the task of putting the intake back on and having the car “operable” (in theory, of course), however, when I put the nipple on the manifold, I managed to pick the worst spot in the world. Once the throttle body is back on, I won’t be able to get to it. So, I need to go out and get a right angle adapter for the vacuum line back to the MS MAP sensor. Once that’s complete, I should be able to bolt the rest of the bits on.<\/p>\n
