      Nice. Just remember when taking it off not to have the nuts drop down! I'm missing a 13mm deep dish socket somewhere behind my engine! LOL

      BTW you're missing the clamp on the brake booster hose....

        There's never been a clamp there on my car. It's a barb fitting so is a clamp really necessary? It's made it 70k without a clamp. I'm sure it'll be ok.

          Huh. Mine has a clamp but it's barbed too. No reason for a clamp really, it's not gonna come off. Other car makers don't use clamps and I guess GM did away with it after a while. I just figured they still did!

            My 3500 plennum doesn't have threads on the inside of the brake booster port, is it supposed to? I'm going to tap mine regardless.

              FF, Hmm, I know the 3100 plenum is a metal fitting screwed in, and the 3500 is plastic. Other than that I didn't look any closer.

                nice that you got the ICM plate to line up with the bolt. Mine wasn't even close.

                  It still hangs off the back. I had some crappy brackets on there from when I added just the plenum spacers, but I ditched those in favor of the header bolts.

                    Ah ok I get it now, so instead of being bolted in the back only, its bolted up top only. I was a bit puzzled.
