    Well everything I tried failed so I am going with the 'hope it don't leak' method. It is the back passenger corner. Kind of late now, made good progress today. The dip stick stopped me and it was getting dark.

    I think he is worried about an intake leak from that snapped bolt and, to be honest (since I'm a moron), I would be too. Guess we'll see when the car gets fired up.

    I had difficulty with that too. Use a tubing cutter (or a hacksaw if you're good enough, but do file it down and clean it up) and remove some of the tubing at the oil pan end. I left 1/4" below the O-ring to ensure that it would still seal. A helper up top with a hammer may help in getting it 'persuaded'.

    You can do this.

    Extra bolts - if they're lag bolts don't use them. Or use silicone.
    Grounding strap - connects to chassis right below the wiper cowl on pass side at the top of the firewall.
    Vacuum tube - those are getting rare, most radios use microprocessors now. But in the marauder you can usually replace it with a hose, fittings, and some clamps.

    Ya got me. Tubing, vacuum tubing. The rigid tubing that breaks with age or when handled ruff. The strap, yes, from the fire wall to ...? I attached it to ythe valve cover though I am quite sure it sure go to the lower intake, right to the bolt I snapped off.

    it fired up! I finished assembly today. All I had to do was fix a exhaust leak, 2 minutes.

    However, it is throwing a miss fire code, P0356, which the book says is cylinder F.

    The airbag has a issue or really just a pos out of a Vic. And the air ride still needs to be repaired.

    My long list is finally manageable. Form totaled out to being driven down the street. Yes!

    Switch your COP from cylinder 6 to another one and see if the code changes. You may just have a bad COP.

    It bolts to the back of the passenger side head. I saw it when I had my cowl off.

    Did that first thing and afraid not. The clip on the plug is not broken either, cleaned the plug with electronic cleaner.

    It is looking like I have a wiring hare ness issue.
