so as you can see I have my work cut out for me. I hope in a couple of months this Astro will be scrapping pavement and being heard a couple of miles away.

I was kidding. so far I replaced the IAT and got a new coolant/wiper fluid reservoir. Volant makes a CAI for the '96 and up Astros and I believe it will fit mine, however I have to do something about the MAF adapter they use since my Astro doesn't have the MAF.lockdoc wrote:I don't know if you were serious about what is missing in the engine compatmrnt but if you are, you are missing the air box and filter, the tube from the air box to the throttle body, the IAT sensor (Intake Air Temp), coolant overflow and wiper fluid containers.
