Default Engine Cleanup & Throttle By Pass

1st like to thank all the guys for there help.

Just finished some engine cleanup, (1) Emission junk removed, (2) New braided hoses, (3) Bypass coolant throttle.


Throttle By Pass done - Braided hose from heater line to manifold


Engine pass side with emission removed and new noses


Engine driver side - no emissions and new noses


Just a full shot of her after startup with no leaks or errors and the hood finally closed after a week. Oh - painted the light covers to match the car, they were black.

Another one off my task list.
Again, thanks to all the help and support.

Even though some may dis you for the fixed lights, I think they look good. You will never mistake it at a Corvette show!
