I got to block off the front 2 vacuum pipes and the hole where the EGR pipe joins the plenum. Then attach the brake vacuum pipe.

I used the bull bar to help take the pinto out. Lift up slide out on th top bar then cut bar off :twisted:

then i tried jacking the van up on the bottom bar :roll:

Guy,

I know what you mean, how are/were you thinking of blocking off the EGR hole in the plenum....? any plans yet ?

cheers, and good luck

what you need to do is cut an oval steel plate drill two holes and bolt it on with instant gasket
