It's been that way a little while too. Always getting a time out when trying to read up on some stuff.

Do you know him, Rick? I'm about to renew my hosting and would be willing to share some space/transfer with him.

I believe that all the mod does is replace the 94-97 fuel bowl heater with the one from the 99+'s. There are a couple of things that need to be done with the OBS bowl but I do not remember just what they were.

You have to grind some boss off inside the bowl to fit the newer heater. That stopped me because I don't care to grind my bowl. After 2 failures of the original type, I just removed mine. Even at 10 below have had no problems. If you live in Texas for sure you don't even need the heater.

I did mine without any mods. a little tricky getting it to lay right and get the wire hooked but it does fit!
