Don't try and run more than 35psi. Those couplers will blow off your GM MAF. :whoo:

PVC emits a caustic chlorine gas when heated; you may want to switch to either metal or ABS plastic.

Really? I love my intake. lol I'll probably do something else with it eventually.

If that car sees more than 35 psi, I probably won't be the owner. lol

I put about 15 bucks worth in the gas tank and so far zero gas leaks. My lower radiator hose gave up the ghost though. Must've gotten bumped or something but now theres a good sized slice in it. It was so old anyways, the rubber was half melting.

I'll replace that today and I'm also getting the bung welded in so I can finally use my nice shiny wideband. From what I drove around yesterday it seems to run decent. Just drove it to get gas and then back.

Word of advise, if one hose blows, the rest are not far behind. Do them all at once and you will have no worries. I decided to wait and fix them one by one. They all went within 2 months what a pain in the ass

Whoever had the car before me replaced the upper radiator hose but obviously neglected the lower. I finally found one that a parts store had in stock but it's for a 1.8. I made it work though, it wasn't too far off.

So far so good. No leaks and I've been driving it around for a little while now. Best of all though, NO FUEL CUT!! :-D

I did that last spring.

Had the alternator rebuilt due to it leaving me on the side of the highway. Threw it in and I'm happy to say it runs great. Very rich though. Gets down to 10 by 6500. Need to tune it since its still on the base adjustment for 560's on my Translator.

But right now I's happy. :D

Here's some more pics I took. Show off my shack of a garage. They didn't run electricity out to these things, so I got my own extension cord and run it off our deck.

Here's a shot of the interior. Notice how clean it is (needs a vaccum) and the repaired lower door panels. For those who remember, there were like 4 speaker holes. I took it into work a week or 2 ago and cleaned it up pretty good. I scrubbed the shit out of the carpet and then shampoo'd it. Looks dirty right now, but thats from all the dirt being lifted out and of course I have been daily driving it.

This is what it looked like when I first got it:

You can't see it in the pic above, but I mounted my AEM UEGO inside the stock gauge cluster where the stock oil pressure gauge was. Front and center.

So I think my clutch is fucked. I have fluid and my lines aren't leaking. My clutch won't disengage.

Did you try adjusting the pedal? Can you see the slave rod moving at all?
