Someone name Gregg answered the phone. I asked him what he thought of the manifold they are putting in this kit. He said,"It works". Wow, if "it works" was an international standard the world would be a better place. How well does it work, does it look like ****? Answer those questions.

It looks like they first made the plate opening and bolt holes to match up with the cylinder head. Then welded the pipe section to the plate, so the compressor pully would be in-line with the other pullies. | | | 11-21-2005, 08:00 PM | #58 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | This was supposed to be a complete kit, not a fix me up. So comparing the cost to a DASC by adding all of the "Missing" parts is irrelevant.
