Well, I pretty much finished mechanically on my 2001.
wow, talk about puttin 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag!
One tip I'd like to offer is on the fuel line exchange I stripped
off the oem hard piping and clamped the hose to the quick
connects. I originally put the fuel line under the intake in the same
path as the oem but did not like it rubbing on altenator bracket,
just to tight in there, so I ran it around the front side of the intake.
I also used an exacto knive to cut a 3/4" hole in the back of the air
filter for the temp probe. Thought about drilling it but was afraid of
getting all kinds of small plastic pieces inside the filter. see pic below.
also wrapped a zip tie around filter neck to secure it a little. Just
doesn't seem right just sitting under there?
Don't bother putting the washer bottle back on until the end or just
before you put the vacuum block on the fire wall. It's just one more
thing in your way.
Also, as I pulled the vacuum hoses off, I put a masking tape label on
each hose noting where it came from.
