Question for you all:
I began looking into changing the vacuum line on my '88 5.0's MAP sensor, and I see where it quickly disappears under the plenum, rendering the attachment point on the manifold out of *easy* reach.
Do I have to unbolt the plenum from the intake to change/retach this vacuum line?
Or do you professionals have any tricks to do this without disturbing the plenum?
Changing the MAP sensor looks like a piece of cake, compared to trying to get my hand or a tool under the backside of the plenum where the hose attaches.
Also... will the line attach to a nipple on the manifold or somewhere to the underside of the plenum? It looks like I need to get my handy mirror and flashlight out!
Any tricks/tips you can suggest would be appreciate!
