Well, I REALLY did it this time...
I sure hope it does! I need to check to see if that hose will be in tomorrow. If it isn't, I suppose I can ghetto-rig the old one with electrical tape until the new one arrives on Monday. I just want to start it and see if runs...Maybe even take it for a drive. It's just the hose that goes from the IACV to the intake pipe right before it meets the upper intake manifold.
Hectic, please do let me know what brand that bearing is. I need to start shopping around for a tranny shop. The one place I had quote me said $500 parts and labor. Not too bad, but I would like to check with some other places first before pulling the trigger.

Thought I would be able to start it yesterday, alternator grounding bolt broke off while tightening it, but I was able to extract the screw and find a new bolt after removing the alternator. Too busy to work on it today, but tomorrow I hope to start it once the alternator is reinstalled.

Quick question: There is a vacuum line coming off the corner of the intake manifold closest to the passenger side and the firewall. There is a check valve in the line. Which way is it supposed to go? Should it block air trying to flow into the intake plenum or away from it?
I would think the correct answer is away, but I want to be sure.

Update on how it's runnin':
All things considered, it is doing pretty well...Three small issues tho:
1) It has a miss ONLY at idle. It runs great when I step on it. I replaced the spark plugs, added 1/3 bottle of BG44K to 1/3 tank of gas and ran it out, then filled it up and added a full bottle. We will see if the miss goes away after I run this tank of gas through it.
2) Small coolant leak where a metal connection w/ 2 bolts mates up below the intake manifold. I put some red RTV on it when I put it back together, but that isn't stopping it from leaking. Maybe I tightened the bolts down too much. Looks like I will have to pull the manifold to get to it and reseal it...D'oh!
3) I have a noise coming from one of the belts. I need to poke around and figure out exactly where it is coming from. It is either the P/S pump idler pulley being worn out or the timing belt being too loose. That would suck, since I followed the factory procedure to a "T" when putting it back together. Oh well, what's a few more hours of labor?

The car is running better now that some of the BG44K has been through the fuel system and I found my coolant leak is not where I originally thought it was. Rather, it was a clamp that I had forgotten to tighten, so now she is running like a champ! Great timing, since my Corvette has started to run rich and will be going to the shop for a few days...
