Glad to see someone else runs a distributor condom

Gotta hide as much of those yellow spark plug wires as possible.

Well, I cut a hole in my stock intake tract, and inserted my PCV hose elbow. All I had laying around was a rubberized clear sealer goop/glue, but it seems like it will work well enough for added assurance against a vacuum leak. It was a nice snug fit anyway, but may as well be safe.

I dont think it will cause any more air disturbance inside than the ripples in the tube already do.

PS, the metal vacuum port isnt staying in the elbow, that just gave me more to grip for the installation.

Also, looking inside the Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers that came on the car, it appears Im going to need to watch for a deal on a new catback, lol.

Cut them open-Clean them out-Weld them shut = Good as New
lol

95BlueStallion · Nov 10, 2017

Not a bad idea, actually. I need practice welding anyway. They may be a little too far gone though.

95BlueStallion · Nov 10, 2017

Got it back on the car. Not starting it yet, cause I just showered and it stinks without cats.

a91what · Nov 10, 2017

Yeah even as crazy as my build is I have cats

95BlueStallion · Nov 10, 2017

I have some high flow ones that I plan to weld into the H, maybe this weekend.

a91what · Nov 10, 2017

I was surprised at how cheap they are now. Huge difference in how the car sounds and smells.

Attempt one, see the problem here?:

Yes. The image is blurry.

Edit: damn just noticed I put a zip tie on the wires. How do zip ties and fuel do?

This totally depends on what the zip tie is made from. The ones that you get at auto-parts stores generally do well with oil and gas but lack UV resistance. Some parts stores however, don't know the damned difference and just order any ole' zip tie. If you're using them in the fuel tank or engine bay, it's always better to know what they are.

I guess the twisty from that loaf of bread I used was not a good idea for the wires in my fuel tank?

How cheap are they now?

95BlueStallion · Nov 12, 2017

The ones I have were $80 a piece. Seems like they used to be $150+.

While on this topic, I spent 3 hours doing yard work yesterday. Afterword I planned to get my cats welded into my H pipe. Once that yard work was actually done, I had very little motivation to be out in my 35 degree garage after already being out in the windy 35 degree yard for hours. Told myself I would spend today doing it, and getting my clutch cable all squared away. That all went to sht when my wife woke up sick as a dog this morning.

Shoulda gone out yesterday afternoon when I was able.

Man I haven't had cats on a fox in about 15 years lol

My garage still smells from starting up my car with an open O/R H pipe several days ago. Im sure it doesnt helped that it is backed in, so the fumes didnt get blown out the door.

RaggedGT · Nov 13, 2017

My SN doesn’t have cats. 5 minutes riding in it,you smell like the tailpipes where riding shotgun lol.
It will be getting them eventually, oh-and tailpipes

Lack of tail pipes = your exhaust riding in your lap, lol.

True lol in my defense-it had tailpipes when it was still a ‘Drivable’ car
