Ordered the Eddy 2601 Air Gap Performer with some tax return money. Non EGR. Should be in by the 26th of this month. Going on a 305 btw.
I've never done this kind of stuff before. Should I drain the coolant and oil to avoid a mess, or is it fine to leave it in? I think someone mentioned in a different thread that I should plug up the EGR ports in the heads with steel wool to avoid some issues with the new intake once I get it on. Is this true?
The new intake is about 4.3in tall. Pretty sure thats bigger than the original. I'm praying my stock air cleaner doesn't hit the hood. Using the stock Qjet too.
Any other tips to make this process go smoothly? I've heard I should run the car and let everything heat up so that bolts and stuff will come out easier. I doubt the stock intake has ever been off in the past 31 years.
Thanks
