Looks good Matt. Hope you can get it all pieced together. :thumbs:
Thanks. :) I hope so too. :uhoh:
I'd email the guy you got it from and ask him :wtf?:, where are all the pieces/parts. :dunno:
I am going to, but I can't be too angry with the seller. They did say that some stuff was missing (if I remember right), but this is more than just some. I'm waiting on a copy of the manual from another member. He said there's a parts list in it (or at least I hope). Once I get that, I'm gonna make a check-list and go through what I've got. After that, I'm calling Whipple.
Very nice. Hope you can find a the stuff you need for it. :fingersx:
Thanks. :) I hope so too. :uhoh:


Yeah, so far I'm missing an idler pulley (which shouldn't be that hard to match its size), but I'm also missing the bypass/blow-off valve (whatever you want to call it). I have half of it, but I'm pretty sure I don't have the valve half, just the other connecting side of it (if that makes any sense).

Alright, I read over the manual quick and highlighted a bunch of stuff. This is straight from the manual.

-4 aluminum spacers (2-black). Locate the 2 black spacers that are 5/16" thick with a 3/8" hole
-a piece of 1 5/8" diameter split loom cover
-two most outside hex head bolts (10x100mm) and washers
-two round aluminum spacers (3/8" hole and 3/8" thick)
-remaining 10x100mm bolts and washers
-two 3/8-16x1" long counter sunk torx head bolts
-10x30mm Allen bolt and washer
-two pre-assembled 3" diameter steel idler pulleys (I'm guessing these are the two pulleys; one of which I don't have)
-new accessory/supercharger drive belt (KO61115). Use belt KO61120 on engines with large-case alternator
-6x45mm stud, nut & washer (this is for mounting the throttle body)
-two 6x30mm Allen bolts and washers (this is for mounting the throttle body)
-3 3/8" diameter, 2 1/2" long piece of orange silicone hose
-two #52 clamps
-6mm Allen bolts (two 6x30mm and one 6x65mm) and washers
-IAT extension cord (I may or may not have this; I'll check)
-3 1/2" diameter hose
-#60 clamps (two I think)

There's mention of a "new bracket" for holding the throttle cable and cruise control cable. If there is suppose to be a new bracket, I don't have it and will have to find it also


At this point, I'm not really worried about finding anything except for the bypass valve (my number one concern), idler pulley, 2 5/8" pulley (for the main drive on the S/C), and the throttle cable bracket. I'm more concerned with the "hard parts" before the screws and bolts which I can probably easily find and order


Just quickly reading the manual, the driver's and passenger's valve covers will be switched around, the engine hoist bracket by the A/C compressor will be removed, and maybe a few other small things.
