Well I'm on the other side of the world right now, I'm going to go ahead guess the 94.5 was an 8bolt. Since it was the first to come out, I doubt it would have 10bolt plenums. I'm pretty sure that 10 bolt plenum didn't come out until 96/97 and on.

Bill, I really am amazed at your skills. I wish I had a workshop and the time to fabricate like you do!
Not trying to go off topic, but for your UP's, what is the max diameter you can go with them before running into space issues?
They look good! Are you going to ceramic paint them to keep the temps down in them?

Hmmm. Flat then. No problem even easier to make. I haven't had the plenums off so I don't know what it looks like under there. There must not be much of a flow restriction otherwise it would have a bit of flare from the pipe to the plate... Hard to describe.
I can't believe how many nice OBS trucks are on the Sunshine Coast! Even saw a 70's single cab powerstroke! Awesome. I should move here....

Nope the truck is at home. I haven't driven it too much after the clutch slipped on the haul back.
The plenum let go after delivering a small welding job in Whistler. I thought it was a pipe and redid everything but it was still leaking on a trip to the city for supplies.
It's a bummer but I can fix it. Just want to make a plenum with the scrap I have laying around. Seems like the way to fix it.

Well I made a boost leak tester today with a tire filler thing and a abs pipe cap. It works really good and I can turn the air on and off by squeezing the handle.
My leaks are not as bad as I thought. One boot from the spyder to the plenum will not seal. It keeps sliding up and loosing clamping force. It seems there should be a roll bead on the plenum to keep the boots from moving. What is the best way to stop this?
