    3. Remove bolts holding the stock throttle cable bracket to the upper intake plenum.

    5. Remove throttle body from intake plenum (Most models use three bolts and one nut). The throttle body does not need to come completely off the vehicle so you can keep most of the lines connected to the throttle body. If you do remove lines be sure that they go back in the same place they started (a camera can be a useful tool to see where everything came from).

    6. Remove the one stud from manifold (Should be the lower left hand mount point).

    9. Install original throttle cable bracket onto the new relocation plate using original hardware.

    10. Install throttle cable back onto bell crank. Cables may need to be adjusted. Verify cable actuation from closed to full throttle.

    11. Install air tube back into airbox and throttle body. Air tube will push into the upper radiator hose slightly. This will cause no concerns but the upper hose may be modified (Trim end slightly) or loosen the clamps and twist the upper hose slightly to create extra clearance.
