Sorry for the big pic. I tried to upload it as a small pic, but it failed for some reason.

Looks like you have an airbox for the intake?

Nice! I love mine.

Yes, the intake I have is a VCM OTR a little spendy but it's dyno proven up to 55 crank HP with a proper tune. I'm having Pat G tune mine in a couple of weeks. Just waiting for the weather to warm up a little.

Yeah, it's a great car.

Thanks for the intake information. That intake is what I want to put on my car too. I have to get my GTA back on the road first though. I have to keep my priorities straight

I am not going on a LS/LT build under my hood. I have a 400sbc from 1970 and its carbed and every connector I will need is unsealed. I wonder if anyone has built a harness from scratch for 1989 on a straight up carb no ECM.

That would be really easy, it'd only be ~4 wires? Two for power, starter crank, and one for the coil, there may be one or two that ground stuff from the inside though, I'd have to look at the harness year
