The engine prep videos show that you pull the MAF wiring out of the bundle to allow you to route it as needed. I plumbed up my intake as shown and in this position, I think the stock wiring would have been enough, but I did not need an extension.

Thanks, i saw a video that showed that at one point but for life of me I could not find a few days ago.

Found it now:

Although it’s a little windy today was able to paint in between gusts, the exhaust Eastwood High Temp Satin Black.

I'm looking forward to seeing that on the car, I've been meaning to shoot mine but I'm a little concerned that straight black will be a bit much for my color setup. Did you do anything special for prep?

 

[Jareth]

Used a scuff pad and then used a product called “Surface Prep 77”

Here is how I mounted the fuel filter. There is then a straight shot over to the fuel rail.

Nice.

Nice, it's difficult to explain that feeling you get when it's fires up for the first time.

May I ask what the thead size is for Headlight mounts? Is it M9 X 1.25 Or 3/8 X 16?

.

 

[Gtstorey]

My memory says 3/8.

 

[jennam]

Yeah 3/8"

 

[Jareth]

Thanks, I should get a preferred customer card at Ace Hardware for as often I shop there.

[Gtstorey]

Go through their bolt section and pick up one of each size. Label them and put them aside as a thread gauge.

 

[Jareth]

That is a great idea.

Even in order of increasing torque spec! Impressive!

 

[Brett]

Smart putting feet and inch in separate columns. I've broken many a bolt not seeing the difference in the spec's.

We pulled down the video because we found that some of the aftermarket bearing hubs have mounting studs that are not as strong as OEM.

So we have reduced the front bearing hub mounting torque for the four nuts from 50 ft lbs to 40 ft lbs.

Does that mean that bearing hubs from the donor should remain at 50 ft lbs.?
