Going to make it in because I need a stock SP intake manifold I haven't stretched out of stock so it won't now seal to the heads without trying to squeeze my stretched one back into stock spec. I have a spare, but running a frayed clutch cable with an electric drill through the heat riser tube of every intake manifold I had on the shelf at one point in the past, this was the only one that resisted my efforts.

Anyway, I could use one, if anyone has one, else, I deal with Cashley.

Hmmm, no mention of origin. I've not been able to get a drill driven reamer of any kind into it. I have no dead clutch cable/heater cables around. Banged on it a bit today to no avail, so finally clamped it in a vise and filled the ends with engine cleaner. I'm not all that hopeful, but I'll give it a shot. What do you think Cashley's asking price is? New/used.

So it sounds like I'm bring a single port intake AND an early stub axle this summer?

Nothing more fun than gas in the eye. On my way...
And a special THANK YOU to Always VW for destroying the main fuel line from the tank.

The fuel line was chewed by rats or mice, freshly installed but ruined. Can you believe it??? They chewed right thru the fibers. Never heard of such a thing. I rescind my scathing review of Ashley & Associates, the error was not theirs.
I have something for Adam, needs local delivery. Thank you see you there.

Still no Bus at the Lab tonight, and barely any "me" -- our other dog passed away this morning. If I wasn't bringing a pair of heater boxes for Ron "Lil Lulu" who's coming in from the mouth of the Columbia, I'd skip it this week entirely...
