Alright, what tool do you use to remove the plastic "INTECH" piece on the 2nd gen mark VIII? i tried a few of my larger allen wrenches with obviously no success. HELP!

yes, i am asking this because i may be needing to remove the alternator soon.

IIRC, they are 8mm allen head bolts. It's been SO long since I worked on a 2nd gen.

It's just a 1/4" drive, no socket attached.

Should have threw it on Ebay, mine from my 96 actually sold for $25 on there.

I like the gen 1 cover in the engine compartment. Is it possiable to put it on the gen 2

No it won't fit, look at how different the intake manifold is plus the COP.

COP ingition would'nt affect that. It doesnt stick up anymore than the gen1 does. the intake is all wrong tho.

I have one more question, I have heard that the intake of the gen 1 is better, is that true.

Yes, the gen 1 intake flows more.
