where do i tap into the vaccum line etc? ive allready got the wiring sorted its just the vaccume line that i need to know about, also will i need to get an extention of the tubing?

also does having a vaccume gaue effect the performance at all? eg loss of vaccum?

thanks in advance

it wont effect performance at all as its sealed so it holds vacuam.tee into the vacuam line that comes off the manifold and goes into the firewall that goes to all the dash controls tee in close to the manifold as you can.

as if you are above the engine looking down onto it....

Tap the gauge (using the tee-piece) inbetween the plenum and the one-way valve... its very squishy near the firewall.... but it is there!

you can run the vacc line anyway you like... depends on length of the line you have... but take this in mind... the shorter the length, the crisper the response....

I'd run it with your others in the same hole, keeps em nice and tidy and not all floating around.

na vacuum hose is usually pretty heat resistant, just run it somewhere not too close to your exhaust.
