Take your time and be careful not to burn through the thinner areas. Make sure you clean it out really good before putting it back on the carm too.

Don't really need it but if you insist, you can go get them as a set in NAPA, Autozone.

Either that or do like I did. Just get a 2 foot section of heater hose and run a complete new line from the top of the radiator over to the nipple on the driver's side head. That way no fittings or restrictions. I got the heater hose for $2.00 and then two screw clamps. So +/- $3.

Yup, my car went from 293.5hp 100% BONE STOCK to 301hp with the addition of the P&P TB. I swapped it out on the dyno. Dyno runs were 20 minutes apart.
