Wow. Looks fantastic!!

Looks great. Wish my engine bay looked half as good.

Thanks!

Starting to route hoses and checked my pre-tear down pics, is this carbon canister hooked up properly? Seems to me the hose coming from the tank should go to the nipple marked "from tank" and the purge hose should go to the intake manifold.

Also, the 2nd pic is of the P/S kick panel, it is in good enough to use as a template to make a new one but is there in fact a D/S kick panel? My photos don't show one and I just can't remember any more.

Have a look at this. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/carboncan/index.html 

btw one of the hoses has a reducing orifice in it

Perfect, thanks Philip.  I'm glad I didn't throw away that short hose with the reducer.  So here is the after pic.

Amazing before and after!

Okay I have everything put back together so will go get 10gal of gas tomorrow morning and see if I can get it running, I got all the signals, lights and engine running well before I tore down so if I'm lucky ... I'll shoot a little video if all goes well.

The engine is running now and the box of parts to reinstall is getting close to empty but I have a couple parts I can't find a home for.

The heat shield, somewhere in the engine bay but can't figure where and the black flangy thing I think goes in the driver's or passenger's foot well.

Any ideas?  Also finished up installing all the glass today.

 

 

[wheee!]

The heat shield goes under the AFM?

The silver heat shield mounts to the bottom of the intake heat shield it protects the hose going from the PCV valve to the side of engine

This is the best shot I could get while the engine is in the car.  It's looking from the master cylinder to the exhaust and intake. If I recall correctly two different size bolts, a 10 and a 12, go through that shield and the bigger heat shield. It will attach after the bigger heat shield is on. One of those "blind" installations where you can't see what you're doing.

YES,  thank you, it protects the silver painted rubber hose,  one down one to go.
