installation instructions....

it's really straight forward if you pop the hood. remove the airbox and hook the adapter onto the maf. someone correct me if i've missed something. it's been a couple of years.

the only thing you really need to be conscious of is not f'in up the MAF box.

I didn't know you can call it that. Just don't mess up the fins on the maf.

Ok, I found an install. Thanks though, I'm off to try and put it on. I wasn't sure if I needed to take that black box completly out.

Well last night I started about 6:30 and it ended about 7:45-8. A couple of reasons as to why it took so long because Instead of bringing a ratchet too set I thought I could be slick and eye ball it and I had to keep running back and forth (hard headed) The install was not the hardest thing I have done but since I don't really work on cars (I want to learn at least the basics though) I had to think a little. I had my uncle around to give me advice since he works on his "Vette" alot. Then it got dark and had to push the car a little to get some light. The only hang up is that one of the plastic pieces holding the part of the air box to the "honey comb" broke and I could not get any torque on that last screw The actual install was easy. My mom could figure it out. Taking the old stuff off was the problem. Thanks for the help guys. Its crazy as to how much knowledge is here on this bored.

Later when I get my computer working right I'll post pics on "how to", review, and such for people like me. Later...
