Had a delivery today from summit racing sway bar bushes
Exciting when you get new bits to fit. That sway bar is soo much thiner than the 4th gen. Looking good. Great to see progress photos like this.

Replaced the rocker cover gaskets had small leak these were the new rubber type fitted a few years ago now back with new cork ones the rubber had gone brittle and hard.
Rubber gone hard already? The ones on mine are a different style of rubber, but seem very flexible even after being on the car for 8 yesrs. I did replace them on the engine build, the old ones still looked good.
Back to the old trusty cork seems like a good solution for you.

It has a vacuum hose to from the manifold. So have to assume its to assist in autobox opperation mybe to do with kickdown not sure.or to help with gear change on auto I would have to Google it to be honest
