Ive been drinking so I might not be the best help.

Take off the engine cover. Remove the tube from the throttle body. Unscrew all the bolts around the plenum. Lift the plenum. You may need to unplug some vacuum hoses and coolant hoses to give you more room to move. Insert the spacer and screw it all back together. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE BOLTS! Reattach all the hoses and the tube to the throttle body. Put the engine cover back on if you want.

Should be everything.

Not required, Blox spacer is a gasket, essentially.

Yeah. I have your address.

I'm thinking around 9-10am. Is that too early? One of the other moderators will possibly pass by so I can give him his kit too if that's ok with you?

just do the plenum install....you'll notice faster revs and more HP especially in the top end.

I say go with the 5/8" BLOX...only $100, so it will save you a lot of money and works great.

Oh. And let your engine cool before working on it.
