Pulling the plenum / IH Some pics !!

90-92 heads definitely do not have that type of machining....I would be surprised they would go into the bowl like that

heres the only photo I dug up.. fromt he big 427 build thread. Looks to me like I can see some valve guide 'boss' there.. if that's the correct term for it. On mine there are grinding marks around that area looking like theyve been removed.

Mine


Unless it was part of the 93+ program not sure. To what extent was that enlarging done? More reading for me... =D>

Moving on then .. Now to the hard part.. How to package this . Debating on shipping the injector housings seperately. Should shed some weight and prevent too much moving around ? Debating on just driving down to Chicago to drop these off in person !

If you come down to Chicago, you get pizza too!

What is this hard vaccum line for ? Its connected with the Pass side injector wiring harness. Im excited to just start ripping everything out secondary related... but want to make sure nothing is for anything important.

Only box I have that is fairly strong .. Not sure if there's enough room on the sides to protect the plenum. Maybe I'm over thinking this a little but shipping is scaring me. Free pizza is really making me lean towards driving it down...!

The box was for coilovers which were really heavy . Going to grab my foam and things and see what I can come up with ..

We love to look at snappics, but getting Q's answered is another story, huh ABI? (I had that problem in my TE re-work thread).

That vac line goes to the HVAC Control.

(maybe do some vac line integrity tests while you're there; some more of that @ post #410 +/- in the TE thread)

Comes off vac junction here (can't remember if it's 'C', or 'A' tho')



Sometimes the best way to get a response is not to ask a question, but rather to make a declaration of something that you know is wrong. Web nazi's will come out from behind their keyboards like flies to *fertilizer*

LoL I noticed that when Ive gone through that thread several times ! I agree with what you said though and I think I need to just go one step at a time. Going to focus on shipping this plenum first and then remove the secondaries and then worry about whats left for vaccum items.

The one thing that is confusing me is the fact that many of the threads with pics and info are earlier year cars. I believe I see what looks to be the evap purge solenoid beside the coils. I also have what looks to be a knock sensor or something else bolted under the plenum beside the dis module.

one step at a time I guess ! and btw that thread of yours is fantastic !

I would NOT use that box,Mike. Need more packing room to adequately protect the runners. Do you have "U-Haul" centers up there? If so,they sell a huge variety of shipping containers.

I shipped a plenum & IH's in the same box,to Bob DeMarco a few months ago w/o problems. IIRC,the weight was around 30lbs.
