More than likely, it will point directly to the passenger side bolt on the upper to lower intake plenum. <br /><br />Make sure it is completely seated prior to bolting it down; this will make sure you're completely on the oil pump interconnect shaft. <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Oh, and set it to 10* with the spout disconnected. This is a good starting point. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
