intake elbow install ?
Allright stupid question...When I insatll my intake elbow from intakeelbows.com I was wondering what size socket to use on the four bolts either a 5/16 or a 10mm?? I don't want to strip the four bolts that are on there. I read the link on the truckblog site for accufabs elbow. Thanks for your help...

Chris

If your looking at the engine.. You have 4 bolts on the intake, each corner.. It's going to be the left corner closest to the front end..

FRONT OF ENGINE

It's the "O" mark..

later models might be same size for all since it doesn't have a throttle body. If it fits you're good.
