I should probably know this already but bare with me. Can someone tell me if I have my ports hooked up properly? As you can see in the attached photo I have the top port (passenger side) going to what I believe is the Transmission vacuum line, and the bottom port (passenger side) running to the manifold. Is this correct or should it be reversed? Now that I look at it I'm thinking they should be reversed. Is there a simple way to tell which port should go where?
Hey - If you're calling the bottom port the big port off the baseplate, then yes, that will go to the PCV. The tranny modulator line CAN come off the the top port, but I'd have to know the carb number to tell if thats ported or manifold vacuum (but that may not matter for a modulator) The bigger question is where are you picking up your vacuum advance? You might check with TechG8 or Carmantx for proper vacuum routing advice depending on carb number and year/make/model
The transmission vacuum modulator needs manifold vacuum. That top passenger side port is usually manifold vacuum so that will work. Not sure why you aren't using the connection at the back of the intake manifold for the modulator. Not sure what lower port you are referring to. http://taperformance.com/PDF/Intake_Instructions.pdf
I have no idea why I'm not doing a lot of the things I did, Larry.o No: But thanks for the info.:Smarty: So I'm assume using the top passenger side port off the carb as the transmission vacuum modulator vacuum source I'm ok as is. And the lower port i'm referring to is the one located at the front bottom of the carb (passenger side) that I currently have ported into the back of the manifold. Is this wrong? I will revisit everything hopefully this weekend as well as installing new gauges and attempting a power tune up per your thread. Which to my brain is like reading Latin. I'm more of a visual learner so it will take me some time indeed.
