I'll pick up the right tool. Can I just put the TB on later and continue with reinstalling everything else?

sure can. they sell a cheap o set at the parts store for like 6 bucks most of the time.

stuff a rag in the TB hole of the blower so nothing gets in there, sh it happens.

Are you wearing Nimbus 12s? I LOVE my Nimbus...only thing I'll do my long runs in...
 
Yes theyre Nimbus 11s. And for the injector o rings I just remove the metal clips amd pull them off?

yup, pull the C clip outm then pull the injector out.

cut the old O rings off, dont try to take them off or you can break the ends of the injector off. oil up the new o ring and roll them on.
 
This look right? MAP held on with 2 shorter SC bolts, vac line under map connected runs to front of car

map vac line runs to under the snout then to the fpr, then the bbv.

unless your using that vac tree on the front of the super charger. why 97 got to be so odd ball.

looks ok.

but get some Q tips and some brake cleaner, spray the brake cleaner in the cap so you can dip the Q tips into it, then wipe out the injector holes, those are filthy. you'll need a lot of q tips BTW.

So once I get everything ready to go, I fill the coolant, then oil change, then start it?

do the oil change. then do your coolant. to fill it up all the way you'll need to run the car. so do the opil so its out of the way and any chance of coolant in there.
 
Ok good. I didnt see your response until now and I just completed the oil change. Do I need to bleed the rad? Also what do I do about the coolant resevoir?

fill it with the gallon of coolant, and then fill with water, start the car top off as need, folow VVVVthese directons to bleed the air out.


how to bleed the air out, let it idle rad cap off till the fans turn on, (when the fans are on the temp is over 195 deg, the t stat is wide open) then open the bleeder screw on top the t stat housing a few turns till a steady stream of coolant comes out the hole, shut the screw, top off the rad. cap it.
