What you appear to be holding is a ghost connection which I had on my 90 model. It did not go anywhere and I never connected it. It may be for turbo models or just a diag connector. I never found out what it was for but everything runs fine with out connected. Maybe for a Auto Tran since mine was manual?? Anyway wasn't VAC can as it had 3 terminals and was RED.

Im in the middle of replacing my blown head gasket. These pictures are great. My #6 went too. Just wondering if you knew the torque settings when tightening the new gasket?

Bolts = 75ft. lbs.
Studs = 90ft. lbs.

If you're reusing the stockers check thoroughly for bad threads, pitting, and measure to make sure they're still within spec.

NOTE!!!! Torque specs change depending on what you're lubricating the friction points with (Head, washers and threads of the bolt). Those I've listed are for use when using a GOOD moly based grease. Don't forget to chase the block's threads too!!!!

Lol did my arp's at 85

Did my ARP studs to 90 with lube.

Depends on gasket. Metal?

I think stock was 55 but everyone now seems to go at least 70

On studs I hope... that's a lot more than you want to torque bolts to.... unless they're just lubricated with 30 weight motor oil and not moly.

for anyones info, i found a strap wrench worked well to get the cam gears off on mine

I just stick a socket on one of the bolts holding the back plate on with an extension on it. Gear turns, spoke stops at the socket and extension and you're done. Strap wrench would definitely work well if they have a larger one on hand.
