Hey all I hope everyones Monday is going good . Here was my weekend project for the Monte .I have been struggling how to connect my hood to my CAI so we cut a 4" in the new hood and a 4" hole in the CAI but where you have to put them foam was not going to work for me (well that is not true because it would have worked but there would have been only a 2 3/4" hole for air to go in to the CAI with a foam ring and I wanted more air flow than that ) So I went to NAPA and went exploring through there car parts I needed something that was 1 1/4" tall and 4" in diameter and soft enough to make a good seal between the hood and the air box and this is what I came up with. I think it came out good

 

Justin, dont fall asleep during that class like once did. LOL

Kieth, that looks like it could work perfectly. Dont forget to take pics.

 

thanks man !! I will i am hoping to have the paint on the hood and on the car this week !! how did the fuel tank go ?

 

Tank is done. Wish me luck. heading out to get it smogged.

 

Hi all, just sitting eating lunch right now. Other than that, its becoming a pretty good monday for me.

 

good luck man !! :d

 

well lunch!!! lol we are ahead of the curve aparently and cruising throught, the guy said he's going to try to set it up so we get to take off erlie and still get paid for the whole day!!! i kind of dought it but hell it's worth hoping for

 

well just emailed a guy about a front portion of a frame $75 obo if it's choped off far enought back to graft into mine i may pick it up

 

Bad news.It failed the test. The guy said that its most likely a bad TBI gasket and the 02 sensor. I just bought them both and checked the gasket with some carb cleaner with it was running. It did fall on its face. SO that means it is a bad gasket.

Tomorrow's project: change gasket and 02 sensor. Its getting to hot outside right now.

 

Darn it man sounds like you have the fix figured out though !!
We are cold up here it was 28 this morning and the high for today is 51
