Thanks for help with my third gen...
Thanks again for all the help with my 3rd gen...
Oops- this is a third gen Vette if I forgot to mention. I figured I post here as opposed to the swap pages because this is a TPI.
I promised a few weeks ago that I'd post some pictures. Well, only now have I had the chance.
So, here they are-


I still have a lot to finish, like putting the fuel pump in... finishing up the PCV, breather, air filter, and other small details- but it looks like it is coming along nicely.
Some of my unique touches include adapting the Fbody throttle cable to the OEM cable's firewall side (yes- I pulled the original cable out of the firewall end's mount and then adapted the TPI cable to it). I removed the water passage on the throttle body completely in order to make room for the Aeroquip hoses. The entire fuel system uses AN fittings adapted to the stock lines. I also have a 360 degree swivel thermostat housing in orer to make the transition from the C3's radiator to the intake that much easier.
Thanks to Thirdgen.org and the rest of ya'll. This is my second forray into TPI and C3s and the great discussions about TPI here have certainly been useful as I have applied the lessons learned from the first TPI install on my last C3 and ya'lls help on other tweaks!
