I just bought a 30 dollar #100 plate on ebay. It comes with the bolts and boost elbow. I have researched the process of changing it extensively and I am confused about the break away bolt can anyone give me info on that. This plate wont throw off timing will it? and I am cruios about turning the star wheel I know it has a allen plug but where do I find it ? any would appreciate any others tips for switching the plate for my first time ?? thanks

 

this video should answer the "how to install" questions...



you will find the allen bolt on top of the AFC..

 

ok please tell me im not the only one that didn't use the scribe lines and stuff like that on this?

 

i beat them out with a chisel and cut a slot on the top and run it back in with a screw driver

 

soo i thought the star wheel was the smoke screw ? where is the smoke screw located? Soo you break the head of the bolt and what is the most popular way of getting it out? Does it have a thread ? I going to put the plate FF and maybe crank the star wheel a little bit , I have the truck turbo back will I have some bad EGTs????

there ya go once you get the afc housing off go to here and this will pretty much tell you exactly how to mod it

 

also do I have to adjust the govenor spring or the star wheel while i run the #100 plate
?

 

do you have a auto or a 5 speed? do you have a pyro? you really need a pyro when in creasing fuel. if your auto is stock then that plate will eat your tranny! be careful when adding more fuel when other things are not in place
