GM used manifold temperature but it could give a higher temp then what is needed for engine management

Re: PO has me PO'd

The old wrench on wrench trick worked out for leverage

Not the adjustable as that will just turn the flats

Who uses to different bushings sizes…..just a PO

Re: PO has me PO'd

Being retired does have its advantages I can spend hours on end just fiddling around on the truck

I usually have 2 or 3 projects going at once so I don’t waste time waiting on parts or hardware I would like to find the correct handle for the valve

Jesse thanks for checking in

You have quite the collection of projects yourself good for you
