Have you ever had problems finding screws for a EGR blockoff plate you made? Well, I found the PERFECT ones! When you are removing the emmission wise hoses, pull out the charcoal canister. The assembly that holds the canister to the chassis uses two screws to hold it there. Those two screws work aweasome for holding the block off plate adgainst your intake manifold
One more tip...Do NOT drop the screws or a socket when you are removing the canister. Chances are that you will have as much of a hard time that I did. There is this strange hole under the canister that bolts, sockets, etc like to hide. Its a pain to get them out of there. hehe, you might want to see what you can find anyways even if you didn't drop something in there! I found myself a 10mm Craftsman socket hiding!!! Nothing wrong with that

Down goes the 12mm socket :laugh: Only my front was jacked up to , so it rolled almost all the way back to the muffler (test pipe =)). Luckily my friend had a bendable magnet and all kind of extensions for it. We didnt bother disconneting anything, he just fished it out in about 15min... 
thats funny! That would suck if you had to take everything back out!!!
