Complement and a slam in the same sentence. Nice job.

 

Yeah, walking on dangerous ground there.

 

Just to throw a wrench in it. The Hughes kit comes with, aluminum plenum plate, plenum bolts, plenum gasket (not the cheap cork kind) new manifold (kegger) bolts, which old ones should not be used, thermostat + gasket, bypass hose, manifold gaskets, throttle body gasket, all for $119. I say that's a good deal. I just did mine less than a month ago.

Reading that EBay add, it states, recommend a felpro manifold gasket set for $25, total investment $90. Still need manifold bolts which are torque to yield (one time use) bypass hose which 90% of the time will get ruined taking old one off, if its old. Does the manifold gasket set come with throttle body and thermostat set?

Not trying to discourage you from buying the eBay one. Just trying to save you trips to the parts house or dealership, for items you may not be aware of that you needed.

 

you can buy the dorman intake manifold kit with all that stuff from rock auto for $28 plus shipping.

 

And another $25 to ship the damn thing...

 

last time i checked you didn't live in Canada. if you combine the gaskets with a new o2 sensor and discount code you should more than be able to save some money.

 

Depends on where he lives it would have been $40 total for me plus $65 for the eBay item shipped, sure it would have saved me a couple bucks. I like the all in one deal.

 

I've been married a long time, and I say you just crapped in your corn flakes. She'll bring it up 20 years from now.

 

Don't think so. She told then she didn't know whether to hug me or slap me!
