Default LS1 intake question...

Hey all,
I've been asking questions about re-installing my LS1 intake. All answers have been great. I have one last question. Does anyone have any secret to re-attaching the vacuum hose at the rear of the intake? There is no way my hand is going to fit back there once the intake is in position. Any ideas?
Thanks, once again
Jake

Install the vacuum lines and map sensor plug before the intake is placed fully in position.

very simple.
cut the hard plastic line and install a rubber vacuum tube across the cuts.
it will give you plenty of working room and you dont have to worry about it coming off during install.

Also, while it's off, replace the oil pressure sender.

Even if it is working fine.

Just do it.

Don't ask me why.
