    Honestly I would START with AL605's. After your first oil change I'd go a tad cooler...you can toss NGK TR55's in there but I always just stick with the copper route...AL104's.

    TR55's are TR5's gapped to 0.59" from the factory...

    They're still copper.

    You're going to need stuff for your vacuum lines.

    Some vacuum line between maybe 5/64's and 7/64's and one 3/8" hose for the evap.

    And a T fitting to go between the LIM nipple and the FPR and the MAP sensor.

    you dont need a 3/8" hose for the evap. you can use your existing evap lines. you shoulda nabbed the vacuum lines off the L67 you took apart.

    you kinda do.

    the only thing that should be coming off the TB nipple is the evap. Everything else either gets vacuum from the cap on top or the nipple on the LIM.

    The tube that says L67 on it is the factory brake booster line.

    don't reuse any of the stock vacuum tubes, most likely they are dried out and cracked. buy new rubber hose and re-do them.

    That's exactly what we're doing, and he wants a clean looking install, so we're doing all factory tubes and hoses.
