Thanks so much to EKAZ for taking time outta his schedule to fight Chi Town Traffic and pick one up for me. Just wondering if this is the one you guys have? Just wondering about the radiator connector mismatch....will I be sucking a little air from engine bay now? Can you help a brotha out?

Heh, notice the greasy tubes on the new Pottery Barn table...wife just loves me.

That looks like the same one I have...I took mine off, but that looks like the one that everyone has been using.

As for the gap, I wrapped the whole intake piping with thermotec wrap.

Nah, and it's only thing I have done to the car that I feel has had ZERO effect. Even racing gas had a little impact as the car retards timing and runs differently.

Will keep in on...what the heck. Couldn't hurt....I hope?
