The head unit is adjustable so it clears pretty nice.

cleaned up the iac valve and throttle body to hopefully resolve some low idle issues i had the last couple days. pretty easy job, and it definitely needed it. havent ran it yet since, but i feel better already.

here are a couple before:



and after:




but i also had a question guys. i think something is missing. when i was reinstalling the TB, i noticed there is a couple spots where stuff looks like it should be bolted in. the first is on the bracket holding the accel cables, near the top. and the second is on the intake manifold, just above where the IAC valve is. what am i missing? here is a picture for reference:

it just seems odd they would have them there if they didnt have a use. were the bracket and manifold kind of universal parts that would have stuff bolting in those spots if they were on a different vehicle?
