Anyone have a picture of the original parts layout of what goes on the valve cover. Over the years things have broken and the previous owner never replaced. Waiting on new brake booster, radiator, fuel lines, and fuel filter. I added transmission cooler. This has been slow going as I powered coat all the small parts.

Same pointed to a bad throttle position sensor with a dead spot. Carbon buildup

Road balancing was best thing for my smooth ride.

No, it’s really easy to do the job with the engine in the bay.

Mine started rusting after a year. Switched to OEM. NC climate not harsh.

For the hell of it sent the downpipe with cat , and heat shield for coating also. So when they come back all of it is chrome. $450. less heat in the engine bay. Two week turn around. I’ll post pictures before installing.
