Make sure you use some rtv black to keep it from leaking. On my LNF I just used the phenolic and black rtv, no stock gaskets.

Yeah I used permatex ultra black, put a light layer on the front and back then torqued it down. Let it sit overnight then it was good to go. I did a boost leak test and I couldnt find any leaks. Although for you supercharged guys I don't think it makes a huge difference, even with the LNF it wasnt an epic difference, it was a slower heatup of my intake mani from the engine block

IC pump has a delayed shipping date. Thank God it is that and not that the post office fucked up or stole my stuff. I wonder if that's what happened to the TC speedo cluster I was supposed to get from another member and never did. He never gave me a tracking number though...

Anyway I'm in San Antonio until Wednesday evening with my little brother so I am not in a hurry to do anything.

Yes. I have it in hand.

I don't know yet. I haven't looked at this add-a-fuse yet. I will probably just hook it to something ignition-hot.

Gonna post this because there's a whole lot of nothing going on. I got these yesterday and today. Tensioner with oversized pulley, laminova seals from ZZP, and two sets of balance shaft deletes from OTTP. (One for this car and one for a later car just in case. ) I'm hoping to button up some stuff this weekend. Hopefully I can get my intake manifold put back to gether with the ghetto DIY dual pass.

Did some heavy cleaning today and some prep work for my DIY dual pass. Straightened the laminova fins with a very dull C&M1991 razor(perfect thickness for this!) and installed them with brand new seals. Fits nice and snug.

GHETTO PULLER FTW
I hooked my 3 jaw puller from Harbor Freight($20) up to my stock pulley because who cares if the stock pulley gets destroyed? I had a problem while tightening though, the whole assembly wanted to rotate with my breaker bar. So why not employ my press? I already had it sitting around for my many projects going on in the past (Spherical CABs, CABs in my '69 Nova, ball joint removal/install on '69 Nova) so why the hell not?
