Make sure you also get the proper steel vacuum line that runs down to the transmission modulator. The hard line ataches at the intake and the modulator with a couple of short 3" pieces of rubber line. It is held in place by a metal tab that attaches at one of the passenger side bellhousing bolts. If you run a rubber vacuum line all the way from the intake to the modulator, it will more than likely collapse under vacuum and your shifts will be all wonky.
