Hey Nathan thanks for the idea of moving the e-vap solenoid from the out side of the fuse box mount to underneath looks hella better. Oh and I'v added a few things since my last post.

OK, I'm replacing this piece with AN fittings an lines. But I had a couple of hours to burn and my dremel polishing kit..... so what the hell. Since I have no need for the piece, I figure we'd have some fun and I'm going to give it away for FREE to one lucky winner! I'm also throwing in a couple of ARP bolts to complete the look. The bolts by themselves are $5.99 each, not cheap.

Here are the rules; whoever posts closest to guessing my DOB without going over WINS! Will keep it open till Friday and than I will announce the winner.

Oh, I almost forgot... there's is a small shipping and handling fee of $129.99.

Just kidding, I pay for the shipping also.

Here's what I started with.



And here's work in progress.



I brushed the blocks and polished the tubes



In this picture, I still hadn't polish the inlet tube.



The pictures don't do it justice... whoever wins will see the difference when they compare both. Good Luck and less start guessing.

Nice attention to details! I see you replaced the heater hose, fuel line, vacuum line, water vapor line, replaced the pulley and chromed the strut for the hood.

Relocating the EVAC solenoid made a big difference, didn't it! But I can't take credit for it. Kilo-9 came up with the idea. I just had a good eye to study his pictures to see what he did.

If you relocate the ground cable and get rid of that ugly bolts, it will make as much of a difference!

The challenge with the extension is that your going to have the big connector on top. Which might defeat the purpose. Extending the wire is not a big deal. If you like, PM me and I will give you my cell number so that you can call me.

Base on the overwhelming response, you might win by default! I think most people look at these threads like they look at girly magazines... they just look at the pictures and don't bother to read the content.

Spent a couple of hours yesterday working on the water vapor tube. I wasn't happy with some nicks and stuff. So first I took the wire wheel and clean out the area where the tubes meat the blocks. Than I hand sanded it the whole thing with 220, fallowed by 320 and finally 420. It took on a very faint bluish tint, kind of like a stainless knife. The blocks now loook like billet pieces. I will need to re-polish the tubes again today. I'll post pictures later.

Even thought I'm not using the piece, it did give me some ideas I can use on the engine.

PS, I think I'm up to $55.00 spent on these things not including my time, LOL.
