Can you take a picture of it? On mine, the left side of the intake has just the brake booster on the fittings, the others are capped off.

Cool. As for the hose, make sure your main hoses as well as the bypass are in good shape. The bypass hose has been known to crack/leak/blowup at inopportune times.

alright will do, im sick of looking at it today, fought timing for lord knows how long, and i still dont know if its quite right, when I was driving it, it started missing at about 3 grand under hard acceleration but then coming back home it didn't so im not sure, but my firewall was soaked with antifreeze so we had a pretty good leak

I received my plenum plate today, looks really good, maybe find some time this weekend to put it in and I can fix my water leak too. How does a guy time this thing? I just cant seem to get it quite right. Do I just have to keep turning it until its perfect or am I going to need a DRB?

Also, is there a way to get the check engine light off from the lack of O2 sensors, previous owner cut them off, it doesn't bother me but no one likes buying a vehicle with the check engine light on no matter whats causing it

Install O2 sensors. Simple as that. Your truck won't give it's peak and can be damaged it you don't have at least the upstream O2 installed and working, because it cannot tell the air/fuel ratio without them, causing it to have to read its programming off of the PCM tables.

So I am reading way about this trany swap, how did it turn into this? Instead of high-jacking someones thread start your own.

Since I am posting you can't adjust the timing on these trucks, If you have been moving the dizzy you have upset the fuel sync and will need to be reset with a DRB3 scanner.

Install the 02's as the motor needs that info, or just keep dumping fuel though the motor.

Well if you calm down you will see that this is my thread, that I started and I asked about some other problems I was having with the truck, before I jumped into the tranny swap I wanted the engine running at its peak, if thats ok with you?

I pulled the distributor when I removed the intake not realizing that I didn't have anyway to re-time it since its all electronically controlled, and reading up in my service manual I discovered this but it was already to late. I re-installed it as close as I could to the original position, but there is no way to know the exact location it was removed from without hooking it up to a computer and "re-timing" it.
