Gary, re your serp belt Q. Do you see any cracking on the ribbed side, on the smooth side? Is it chaffed at the edges? Do you know how old it is? I changed my OEM/BG one when I got my car in the winter of 04-05. It looked fine but it was 14.5 yrs old & had 7400 miles on it. I'm changing out the replacement shortly because it has gone 38k miles and it's 6 yrs old....jez I've had my car that long! Time flies when you're having fun I guess!....they are expensive. If it breaks I kind of doubt that the old nylon trick will work to get you home. JMHO.

Tom, the belt definitely looks old and is cracked, so I'll pick one up from Autozone and will swap it out.

BTW. I took the plenum off last night in less than 30 minutes!! I think I was so nervous that I overprepared and just carefully followed the FSM steps. My garage looked like a surgery room with all the right tools layed out strategically. It's a mess under there, so I have a alot of cleaning up to do tonight, and I'm hoping to finish everything up tomorrow since I'm off.

Quick queston regardinh the "drain hole" you guys keep referring to. Where exactly is it located?
