definately. it's cheaper and looks much cleaner. just get 2 new clamps with the hose so it seals up.

I did the TB bypass and installed my Autometer water temp gauge at the same time. A 3way T-fitting and 2 barbed hose ends from Home Depot got me fixed up and knocked out 2 things at once. I added a self-tapping screw on the back side with some teflon pipe sealant to attach my ground wire and was good to go. Plus it was hidden out of sight beneath the bellows.

Just how do you keep that fitting from rubbing on your pulley?

that looks more expensive than $1.75 ( i had clamps at my house) and looks like it will hit the pulley.......

Does anybody use the search function this board offers anymore? Search for the word bypass and you'll find 1000 threads on how to do this mod.
