Looks good. Although the edelbock TBI intake may not be the best chose, it wins hands down in the ease of installation category. You may want to drill and tap the front AC bracket support now before you get it on the car. If not you risk breaking off an accessory bracket bolt off in the head.

Shifty's right. I've been there before and it's not fun.

Not exactly the same color as the purple haze but it is definitely purple.
Yep, it's purple alright. How many purple RS's are there here. I'm one, your one, who else?
I not sure I follow you on that. The front a/c bracket?
Not the bracket but the brace. It attaches from the back of the AC compressor and bolts to the front of your intake. The Edelbrock intake has a provision for it but you need to drill and tap it out. I didn't at first when i got my intake and I eventually broke an accessory bracket bolt off in the head. It was a mess. I immediately drilled and tapped it then. It is really easy to do and you can tap it by hand with an over the counter kit at any hardware or automotive store.
I'm not sure if you have the instructions or not, but it tells you what to do in them. But, just in case you don't have the instructions, it just says to drill a 5/16 hole 1-1/8" deep and then tap the hole with a 3/8-16 thread tap, 1" deep. Hope this helps.
From the looks of the can I would say engine enamel. Most of these paints can withstand about 500 degrees F. You can get it anywhere, Wal-mart, Autozone, etc, and in all sorts of different colors.
Yeah, it's there, you got a better pic on the S/W region board...
This should be a fairly easy swap to do. Ya know Bill, you might as well (if you haven't already) get a 160* therm. and some new radiator hoses just to get em' outta the way...

Might want to try a hobby store. Sometimes they stock paints that are semi-transparent. Any other type of paint with a high opacity may just completly cover the lavender if its put on too thick.
