    negative, i've had mine unplugged for a week now and have no code thrown, or the PGM-FI light on. so i'd say we're clear for lift off...plus i plan on having a plate machined for the EGR, as well as others.

    I've got a bit of scrap steel lying around. If you outline the shapes you need for me I'll use the grinder and drill to make you some block of plates like what I have for my manifold.

    Yeah helpful ain't it that its so easy but there's no part to do it. Kinda like the "swap a b20" "h22 cant fit" spam thats floated around here for the last 5 years.

    What are you trying to accomplish BTW? there is nothing wrong with the MAP sensor setup on our cars and I'm pretty sure OBD 1 uses one also/

    well i'm just trying to clean up my engine bay so there's not a bunch of useless shit laying around. most of the vacuum lines are for emissions crap that aren't in anyway detectable if you reroute things in the right way. and i still have my MAP sensor setup, as well as the ignition sensor setup. i plan on taking pictures of my change to the vacuum box just as our other friend did, 'cept i'm mounting my sensors to the firewall using, "L" brackets. so...patience, pictures will come.

    yeah, Sunday lets try to get some measurements 'cause i'd love to remove that stupid piece and block it off. it's not like my car warms up as quick as it should with it on anyways.

    I believe the thermovalve on the thermostat housing shuts off vacuum to the outer vacuum port on the distributor when the car warms up. But then FI engines also have that ignition solenoid which also seem to do that. So I guess I'm not completely sure, and at the moment I'm too lazy to study the diagram.

    Re: Vaccum Box

    Yeah, this turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it'd be. I need to run the code on the computer since my PGM-FI light came on twice when cruising over 65-mph...reporting in soon with further info.

    it's a 260-grind, and the only thing needing to be, "reset" is the valve clearance

    yep, like 3rdparty said. He ended up going with a 260 like delta recommended, and I ended up going with a 272. No problems so far, and a bunch more power. No bottom end power though. took a bit of getting used to. Stalled it a few times and pissed off the people behind me.

    well it's still below 40 all day here in Idaho. in fact I think it's just barely hit 41 at my house.
