Need Help from those with Cast Crawford
Need Help from those with Cast Crawford
Aight here's the scoop. I received the crawford cast plenum 2 weeks ago and brought it to a powdercoater locally to get it repainted (I wanted Black Chrome but it came out Gloss Black! URGH) Anyway, I took pics before I gave it to the powder coater, but they weren't detailed enough. I need to know the following:
1 - Confirmation of which brass fitting goes where. I think I got them all back in the right spot (using my poor pics) but I wanted to confirm.
2 - Confirmation on which fittings get the RTV Gasket Sealant and which get LOCKTITE. I am assuming all the brass fittings that are closest to the Throttle Body get the RTV Gasket Maker/Sealant (3 brass fittings and 1 allen head set screw) and the other 2 I think vacuum fittings just get locktite.
Can anyone that hasn't installed theirs take a look and let me know?
Thanks!
DAM* it posted in the wrong forum! Can a mod move this to the correct forum/ I didn't want to put this in the review forum!
Thanks Again!

Yeah I tried that, I saw that they only mentioned 3 of the 4 fitttings around the TB portion use the gasket maker. I just want to get it right the first time so I don't have problems after its on the car! Thanks your help though
