I just witnessed the install of these onto a 95 Trans Am(RamAir95TA), and it went flawlessly...just have to take off the steering linkage. Was only a tick over 3 hours to install. No problems.

Did you order them with the AIR fitting? If so.. that's the only problem I encountered with mine. Jet-Hot welded on the older syle AIR fitting (22mm) and my original fitting was the newer style (18mm)..

I just had to go to a specialty fastener shop to get the right size. Other than that... wonderful product

Ok.. check your AIR fitting... the male one from your car maybe be smaller than the female one jet-hot welded in (I'm not sure if Jet-Hot made a mistake on mine.. or is they only weld in the older style)
