Well my rig job is no longer holding. I cut the end off of my 3100 and used a rubber hose to put on the press in. I have the O ring from GM so that is the right one. I need to know what car to pull the press in tube off of. Or should I just snag one and bend it?

That would work great, but the intakes are on the car. Car is down now do to this and I just did the LIMG, so I'm not going to take it off again.

Well I found a straight tube off of a 2000 big port. Going to have to find a way to bolt it on the head. Damn fuel line holder is in the way. Not sure if the cross over pipe will be in the way.
