    Something is happening here

    Something is happening. Might have something to do with this:

    But I'm not sure

    We wont talk about saturday. I had to work half a day (was supposed to be off) looked at a mower for a guy and it caught on fire (dont ask) Didnt get to start on it till 2-3. Then once everything was apart it started getting cloudy and looking like rain!
    Just wasnt my day.

    Started this morning, ran the fuel lines, throttle cable was a PITA, had to do some modding to get it to work. Had to put on the new end for the tps, iac wires were too short, had to extend them, the wind kept blowing out the small pencil torch I was using to soder the wires and heat shrink them. Had to move some wires and re mount the coil, that was another pita. Found a heater hose was rubbing the battery tray and almost rubbed a hole in it. Had to change that out. And that was a PITA. Ended up having to take out the alt and brackets to get to it cause it the hose that goes to the water pump.
    And then to top it all off, my idea for a air intake was a complete failure. Way too tall, I thought it wasnt going to be, but it was. So I am back to square one with the intake elbow. Gotta figure something out. Cant drive it with no air filter.

    You made a lot of progress! I bet it's satisfying to see it come together like this!

    Yep, thats kinda my marker. As it just barely kisses the hood when shut. So I cant go any higher than that.

    Looks like you need a drop base air cleaner with a 4" hole instead of a 5 1/8"

    The opening is roughly 3.5in. I can take a peice of 3.5 ID rubber tubing and slip it over the lip without much fuss. I have a couple more ideas floating around, but not sure if I will have the time to make any of them this week. Might have to just wait again untill this weekend.
    grrr

    I need this right here! I have tried google with no luck! All the aftermarket air intake systems for the year model trucks this TB came off of, use the original elbow, and a factory elbow is not gonna work. It also has to clamp down on the lip like this one does.

    Ive been trying to view this image for like the last 5 min to see what your talking about. It just won't open for me. does it not have a lip to attach a rubber sleve to? I usually get ruber couplers for PVC pipe from lowes, they work well for connecting intake ducts and stuff together. they even come with two big clamps.

    Yes it has a lip, just like picture above your post.

    I just clicked on picture and it works fine, you have to be signed in to see them but you posted so your signed in. Some networks at work have all pictures blocked?
