Hi there again

Part# 36060

Its a custom plenum cover. I have no idea where it goes on my engine
Can someone please explain to me where this thing goes on the engine?
Thanks

on top of the plenum, between the fuel raill covers, someone here will surely post a picture for you.

It garbs my attention that you bought this part and don't know where it goes.......but I think maybe it just looks differetn to you from what you have on your car.....so let's break it down.
1 ..Plenum..this the intake manifold on top center of the motor.
2.Plenum cover....the part you bought will just cover the plenum NOT replace it.

thanks for your help guys, thats where i thought it went, but it seems that there is an early model 1993 corvette and i thought i had the late model corvette so the plenum cover is made for 1993 L to 1996. Well it doesnt fit so i guess i have the early model vette. But i know i have the white styrofoam behind the plate and the mobile 1 sticker under the hood?
Oh well
any other easy way to tell if my 1993 is late or early?
thanks

You can polish the runners on top very easily w/ sand paper, then Scotch-Brite and finally fine steel wool and it looks great. I also did the inlaid areas between the runners in red, sorta of like the LT4 look, but just on top and not the whole intake. Looks really nice.
