89 F350 7.3l Engine Question
Hey all, been gone for a while, work has been busy. Some of you may remember one of my last posts had to do with my C6 biteing it in about 200 miles from home back in the woods. I had to limp back in 2nd gear and 45mph. Well shortly after I pulled my spare C6 form the old F250 and started takeing the F350 apart. I had to put all projects on hold and pretty much everything else since mid to late OCT. I finally have some free time and got every thing swaped out and back together.....or so I thought. Funny thing, after sitting for around 7 months, in peices, when I tried to turn it over, it fired right up. Now for the question (for some reason I can not find my manual), this piesce goes on the back of the intake, but I can not remember how or what it attaches to.
Can someone please help me (pictures would be great), this is the last piece to the puzzle.....I think.
Hope everyone is doing good by the way.

That is the CDR valve ..there should be a hole in the valley pan behind the intake, about a 6 inch tube stuck in the VP and the CDR on top. There should be a rubber gasket between the hole and the intake where the bolts go.
need a picture email me back.......

OK, I feel like a *******. After I posted this, I went back out and crawled into the engine compartment (not easy since I am 6' 320 pounds) and stuck my head back there. I forgot that when I started this project 7 months ago, that I had planed to install the Banks turbo fron the 250 into the 350. That idea was scraped because I need the truck to do some hauling, and some of the parts from the system needed to be replaced. The hole in the intake was blocked by a plate from the system and I forgot that I had done it.
Plate removed, CDR Valve installed all is good with the world. I will replace the parts and install the turbo this winter, might even take pictures and do a little write up on it.... unless I find a sweet deal on a wrecked dodge with a 5.9l in it. That will be a completely different story.
Thanks for the help.
