i got mines off with the alt on and all i dont remmember how tho was too long ago. most people take the alt off to be able to get to it

 

Yea man, unless you have an awesome wrench you gotta take the alternator off. Its 3 bolts, just take it off and move it over a little bit so you have some more room, then just take that elusive bolt out of there.

 

15mm BTW, once you get the alt out the way

 

got the alt off. but the intake many being a bish to take off

 

did you get the bolt out?

 

yes i did. what im doing is a dual pass endplate. now i just neeed to figure out where to place the bung.

 

the alt does not, and i repeat, does not need to come off, all you need is a 15mm open wrench and some patience

 

True, but it took me 1 minute to remove my alt. Once the alt was removed it took 1 minute to unbolt the manifold. Way easier than screwing around trying to get it off with the alt still on.

 

Yeah, loosen the alt and set it off to the left (front of the motor), then stick a big ratchet with a 15mm on it down there and remove the bolt. Easiest way i've found at least.

 

so i sent the end plate to the fab place now i wait.

 

why not just get a dual pass of joe here, he makes his own and they are a pretty slick unit I hear

 

Yep, and I'm pretty reasonable on the price. Also offer core exchanges so you don't have the downtime on your car.
