I got a few questions about this... I'd appreciate it if you could answer to the best of your ability. I will be doing a swap within the next couple weeks.

So I just need to have them plugged in, but doing nothing. Example I can just tape them up and call it a day.

I don't understand what this accomplishes... Why would you wire a VE connector if you're using a DE IAA unit?

If I get motor mounts inserts for a highport DE... will they insert into the VE brackets?

Is that the printed circuit board in the distributor?

Charcoal canister?

Same as above.

So the highport accordian goodness won't work with the lowport?

For the shorter hose just get yourself a new piece of 3/4" heater hose because the OEM hose won't stretch to fit. Also get yourself some new hose clamps because the OEM ones suck, especially when they're old and corroded.

Is this something I can get at Home Depot?
Thanks a bunch man, I really appreciate it.
