Default WTF is this? LS, installing Blox IM, nowhere to bolt this piece up....

What is this thing? Original IM from a '92 LS motor.



It has coolant running through it (2 ports)

Here's the Blox IM, nowhere to put this thing. Although it has the coolant nipple that attaches to 'the thing'




Also, the stock throttle cable bracket doesn't bolt up, the spacing isn't right. Guess I'll just drill another hole in the bracket to make it work...

bypass it, its only a fast idle thermal valve.

If ur car runs fine then it really wont cause problems, maybe a little in the cold.

Just connect the hoses from either end.

Not if you set a colder high idle via IACV in your ECU.
