thanks john BUT I was able to earn some $$$$ from working on a friends brakes & decided to break down & just replace the intake w/the stock one, along w/all the vacuum sensers that screw into the intake. I didnt want to waste the cash but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do and its a b!tch when ya only got 2 cars and one is down like this & what made it worse was when the wifes car went down 2 days after my truck decided to take a vacation. but it'll be up & running soon, right now I'm changing & painting everything CHEVY ORANGE that should be that color so it all matches the color of the block.......thanks again...joe
