New intake on questions about fittings?...

I just got my new 2101 performer intake on my 83 z28 and it is beautiful lol. I just have a few questions about the fittings for it. The first pic I attached is the 2 fittings I took off my old intake. The left one was for the heater hose but is to big for the hole in the second pic. The second just had a vacuum hose going to it and I'm not sure if I even need it anymore but it only fits in the hole behind the carb. Guess what I need to know is what size are the holes on the 2101 intake the 2 on front and 1 behind the carb so I can get the correct fittings or plugs for it. Also the 3rd pic is my old water neck. I was never sure what the wire connector or other fitting on top were used for or will I even need them anymore otherwise I will just get a new one to put on. Thanks for any help.....

hey not sure of the sizes but you could get a mainfold plug kit from say pep boys or autozone.They have different sizes in them and one would fit..would tell you the side of it.

Re: New intake on questions about fittings?...

one my 92 tbi engine i had a water neck with no sensors. but it was cracked. so i went to the auto parts and got a water neck for a 69 camaro. the 92 camaro hose was a real tight fit so i ground the neck on the housing down slightly with a sanding wheel on a die grinder and it fit perfect.

the neck itself fits on the new intake I just didn't know if I needed the sensors or not cause I haven't seen a new one with those fittings on it...

Re: New intake on questions about fittings?...

that might be the temp sensor for the ECM..not sure. Try going on autozone's website and looking up that temp sensor for a tbi car..

Re: New intake on questions about fittings?...

after looking at the picture again does it have electric fans or a mechanical one. the single terminal one could be the gauge. the two wire is a sensor for either the ecm or electric fans.
