    i used the adapter and the sending unit is so close to the manifold heatshield that you cant unscrew the little knobs all the way off even. I just did that and slipped the boot for the stock sending unit over the aftermarket one

    Shaking ball joint..

    torque wrench..

    low rpm knock advice
