[Shotimes] Crazy Screw!

[Bill Murray]

Make sure that the 2 bolts that hold the crossover tube on are there and
are tight.  The DIS module is grounded onto the crossover tube which is
then grounded to the rest of the intake through those 2 bolts.  What
might be happening is that the crossover tube is sagging and toughing
the brackets enough that the DIS is grounded, but when you tighten the
coupler, it moves the crossover tube back where it should be but lifts
it off of the brackets.
