Finally Got around to Changing the Snorkel Tube, Another Mikey product rec'd,Today was time 2 Change it Options

[RON S.]

Today was the day I mustered the energy to swap out my 43 year old rotten snorkel tube with the new one that I had gotten a month or so ago from Mikey.

The job is really a PITA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) to the max, and then some. Be ready to spend most of the day on it, and have some help if you can get it. You'll really need 4 or 5 extra hands to push and pull and thread the wiring.

I did mine alone, and it took me about 7 hours.

First thing I noticed was that the Snorkel Tube is about 2- 2-1/2'' to long for my application.

No matter, as I cut it in half about 3'' below the end that is the engine shelf grommet.

Next was removing the interior, and since my wiring harness was already split in 2 on the shift tunnel, pulling it out was easy.
With the wiring pulled up all the way into the engine compartment, I installed the 1st half I cut into the upper engine shelf. Once installed, which was a PITA doing it alone, I then threaded the harness back down through the upper Snork half, down below the engine.
I then measured the bottom half of the elbowed end of the Snork tube, and cut about an inch off it. Then I threaded the wiring again through the elbowed piece and back into the car's interior.
Once I got the bottom grommet of the snork Tube in place in the chassis, I rolled back the tubing on one end where the 2 halves and unrolled it over the other half. This gave the unit about 1-1/2 to 2'' of overlap on the tube. It sealed up really tight, and it looks pretty good.

Re-plugged all the wires in, put the seats back in, and I was done. Time to go back to driving it.

All in all, another great Mikey product.
