WOW.... Oilyfoot;

 

That's probably the most expensive intake in the automotive world.  So, you understand my comparison. HE HE HE

 

You have done some serious research here.  I have been on that Harmony site a couple times in the past, when I was looking for the tenor guitar I mentioned earlier.  You betchyah.... there is a ton on info on that site.

 

Through all of this... You have hit the nail on the head.  I really think you've got it.  If you look at the pictures I attached to this reply, you will see that yes... in fact the ends do not match.... AND... you'll notice there are file scratches at each of the would-be crafted ends.  These were in fact shortened.  I looked at those scratches before and wondered why they both had scratches at the same place.  It never occurred to me that they may have been shortened.  Like I said.... I'm  a green horn.

 

WOW.... I am totally set back here... you should be a CSI agent or something along those lines.  Awesome work Oilyfoot!!!!  Awesome work!!

 

I am, by career choice, a Sr. Level Tech Support Engineer with over 25 years in the industry.... I KNOW the Devil's in the details all too well.  And Murphy is never far behind him.  There's no such thing as too much correct information.

 

Thank you Oilyfoot... U B dah MAN!!!

Kidd

Kidd,
Glad to help! I'm a geologist, so my job is figuring out puzzles on something you can't see, from extremely limited data. I've been trained to question everything, including my own assumptions, at least twice. Plus, I know luck and experience are often involved. So I knew someone who had done one of these mods, and made a lucky guess.

This was fun! Got any more mysteries?

Oilyfoot;

 

Ok... There were these 3 guys.... Ahh forget it..... you probably made the riddle up yourself anyway.

 

Man... it sure was fun to dig into this little issue.  Looks like I had a few people interested enough to get involved in helping someone they never even heard of before.... AND THAT, my friend..... is worth its weight in GOLD.  Not a lot of us folks around out there these days.... for one reason or another.

 

To ALL who helped me along my quest... I truly appreciate each and every minute you spent on my little question.  And you have made me VERY glad that I joined CBN.

 

Have fun and keep on CBG'n;

Kidd
