It's crunch time for deals gap, so I've been pulling some long nights during the week. The engine bay is pretty much back together.

The new LIM is installed and looking pretty, here is a side by side comparison of what I turned the stock one into:

Also, here is my version of a sweet vacuum line. This is a -6AN line for the brake booster, all other lines will be -4AN. Please note that you can't just use any braided hose, it has to be rated for vacuum (not many are).

Bare hose:

Raychem (deisel retardent milspec heat shrink for wire harnesses), this will make sure the SS hose never rubs through anything, and also keeps the theme by being black (using Raychem is overkill, but I have a lot of it, and this is non-name brand anyways). I had to use SS because the braided nylon hoses available are not raided for vacuum.

Seal the ends with 4:1 adhesive lined heat shrink:

This is good prep for making the wiring harness this weekend haha.
