Thanks

on 96 and up this fittings is on the intake, on the pass side of the engine. you can't miss it. the line you quoted from me was about the 95 tbi engine, where it is on top of the water pump, the fitting is the same but in diff spot. these fittings are made of aluminum, or some type of really soft metal.


here is the best pic of i have of where it is on the 96-99 vortecs.
