vacuum is vacuum....
That doesnt answer my question. kthnx


Are they all vacuums? Why is there a vaccum going to another vaccum? Does 1 vaccum feed the other thats connected to it? Does it matter which vaccum i put my brake booster on? I want to elimate the 2 spouts on the side of the intake and just use the ones under it. does it matter?

lets put it this way. I run my booster off one of the ports under the manifold, and I have one other vac line that I use for my FPR... everything else got capped off

they are all vac, they all lead to the same place. So use what works for you.


And if my first post wasn't clear enough for you... You obviously don't understand the dynamics of a vacuum fed system

acculy he is wrong vacuum is not vacuum, try to match up your lines to the same size vaccum port, cuz if you put your booster line on a port that is very small it will not pull enough vacuum and are you running a stock fuel pressure regulator?? i hope no, but if so make sure that the line is small so the vacuum does not blow out the diaphram, then make sure you run your pcv valve that is locate behind the lower intake, then if you still have your heat and a/c controlls hooked up they work off of vacuum also but you can just put a vacuum T into the brake boost line and run them off that, in a sence he is right about vacuum being vacuum but the AMOUNT of pressure the vacuum will produce is what you need to be aware of.
