You will prolly notice a small metal tube (less than 1/4 inch diameter) coming down just behind your oil pan in front of the bell housing if you look underneath...you should see water dripping out of that tube.

Can those pictures be any BIGGER,daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!Did you first remove the seat from the frame and then the frame form the car?This is the only way Ive ever takin the seats out of the car but I dont know if the seat bottom of a 94 comes out like the early cars.

The first pics I posted were too small, so I went bigger!

Yes I pulled the seat cushion, then the seat frame.

Some claim, 2ndary will come on stronger if this condition is corrected. However, I have seen posts that after being installed rotated for a long time, actuators will not function correct if rotated into correct position. If I were you, I would rotate them into correct orientation, apply vacuum w/ hand held pump and see if it allows 2ndary to open w/ less amount of vacuum and also if correct position will open the 2ndary flap wider.
I know, some will chime in and say just disconnect the system...

Nnnnnaaaawwww....Why would anyone wanna do that???? Actuators, reservoirs, vacuum pumps, check valves, plastic plumbing, cracking rubber fittings, unnecessary complexity, eliminated in the 95 LT5 prototype, one if not THE most problematic item on the LT5...No way! It's part of the LT5's charm!




Do that, and the next thing ya know someone will suggest tapping the IH and installing a brass plug (left edge of the pic) to shut off the coolant to the TB and make the plenum pull about as easy as removing a carburetor on a SBC.

Some might suggest all that...But, I won't!

Some progress.....

[rudolph schenker]

Marc Haibeck did the refinishing (did a great job!).
Now I am sorting out the vacuum lines and checking them. I must admit the lines seem like a lot of extra work. Seems like the engineers could have simplified it!
