Intake System Overhaul

Back when the engine ran like complete crap, I decided, right then, that I’d tear

down the intake system and clean it up.  I noticed a few things, during that process,

that needed attention such as several vacuum lines corroded and busted intake gaskets.

The IAC valve also needed cleaning.  I took this opportunity to port the

plenum as well as get a pin-sized hole repaired in one of the water ports in the intake

manifold.

And this is how she looks

today.  Well, almost.  I since, replaced the spark plug, wires cap and

rotor.  I also installed the stock ignition coil back in.  I left the Accel

alone for now.  It’s a good backup I think!  With all this said and done, click
here to hear her run with

the 3-chamber Flowmaster (which is to be replaced by the DynoMax cat-back system).  You need WinAmp

or a compatible MP3 player.  Keep in mind, it’s been nearly two years since this ride

has sounded like this, so be gentle.  She still needs more tuning to go!
