Re: Are these valve covers ok????
If you watch so many ppl make there lil V6's fast youll figure it out....I know thats what happend to me, I saw that it was possible and I looked somewhat easy. So I started reading and reading and asking alot of dumb questions and I probley still do...
Well its not easy at all! At least the tuning aspect...my brians smoking just thinking about how the $%# im going to tune this car... If you get into actually doing it, turbo, cam, whatever, this is the best place to ask questions!

Re: Are these valve covers ok????
Wow is that alot of vac. lines. Which ones are you having a problem with anyways?
I think there are 7 in total that come off the carb. In the pic i linked, the center object is the carb, in case you didnt know. Just take the drawing one vac line at a time.
Nice valve covers man!! Im liking them!

Re: Are these valve covers ok????
Yea some have a t on them that links 3 lines. I know its a PITA for sure, but take your time and look over the diagram, and follow one line a time. Dont be overwhelmed!

Re: Are these valve covers ok????
Yea thats a big job man forsure!!!
Ive already wasted like 10 hours re-dueing stuff because ive never done this sort of install before... in my mind the heads, cam and such I added a few months ago was cake work compared to this. The fabrication part is the hardest and I sure you dealing with that on that show truck!
