I managed to lose or misplace the grommet on the CAI tube that holds the air sensor in place. The new sensor is threaded but I can’t find a threaded grommet that will fit it.
1. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement grommet?
2. If the grommet is not threaded (which is like it won’t be), can I safely secure the sensor into the grommet using some kind of adhesive?

And lastly:
3. can anyone recommend a spark plug wire set with the correct number of angled boots so I don’t fry my wires again?
4. I’ve been running FP the MSD 8.5mm. Would 8mm wires work the same? Better? Worse? No difference?

Thanks!!

Not sure what to say about the grommet. Worst case scenario use some sillycone?

your not going to gain hp on the wires, but you will save $$$

So 8mm wires will do the same as 8.5mm? And yes, I know, wires don’t add hp. 8mm sets just more available

Silicone on a clean surface, maybe ruffed up a bit with scotchbrite too, is a seriously good glue. If you find something that'll work, maybe the silicone to help it stay put.
