What is the drivers side small runner tube function? Tricky!
If I'm deleting the cold start injector on an 88 and earlier TPI system, can I use the later 89-92 runners without the cold start privision and without the small tube?
Is that tube strictly to feed air to the cold start injector, or does it also play a role in the function of the IAC?
TPI setup will consist of:
-'87 plenum
-'87 base
-'87 throttle body
-'89-92 runners?
Thanks!

that is the egr crossover tube, it should be present on either type of runners.

Both of my 89 'birds and my 86 Z all had it, I never seen one that hasn't.

So, the driver side tube isn't needed if you've deleted your cold start injector, right? I can use the 89-up slp runners with the older style plenum?
