There is a fairly simple rectangle shaped grey button to depress and release the line there. Then you don't have to muck about trying to release the booster line behind the IM. When you have the OE IM ready to remove, slide the IM and booster line off the engine as one (don't drop anything into the motor dude!). Follow MSD excellent install instructions- I refer to page 4, figure 6 and 7 that shows you how to release the the booster line from the back of the OE IM at your leisure and comfort on a bench. This is where too many guys get frustrated and rip the line out cuz its pretty much inaccessible back behind the engine when it's still installed. Re-install the line on the MSD before placing it on the engine and then (after following MSD's instructs of putting a little 0-ring lubricant on the ends), and when the MSD is all lined up, simply click that booster line back together at the intersection beside the driver's side shock tower. Continue to closely follow MSD's instructs for sequentially torquing down all retaining bolts with blue Loktite. Re-torque all again after 1,000 miles. This is the other reason for the common complaint about leaks- IMHO, they didn't follow the instructs, or tried to go cheap and didn't replace the port seals when needed, or lost track of their sequence/skipped a bolt or two, who knows. But you gotta pay attention! And of course, get a good inch/lb torque wrench. Good luck and remember to have fun! |

n/m, I figured it out. You press the button in while holding the connector in place and pulling the opposite hose out of the connector.
