vacuum hose tango

spyder · 01-31-2003

ok, im putting the trick flow street heat intake in right, but underneath the intake the vacuum hose arrangements are different. what goes where ? Also the plastic "T" piece broke that connects the three vacuum hoses together...is this part available at auto stores or is this special order stuff...??? thanks.. attached is what im talking about...

yeah, the plastic connector is easy to find,usually in the 'help' section with all the misc. things...
i have a trickflow also and everything i did worked ok... the one in the front i ran the hose (much longer than original) to the solenoid that controls the gas tank vapors - mine was clogged with oil, and when i replaced it, i had a better idle...
the other one next to it, you can either plug it off with the supplied ends or hook a boost gauge or msd box w/boost retard)... you get the idea...

EDIT- actually, now that I thnk about it, you have my old number. I will PM you my new one.

yeah, you got to make sure you feel the "click" when pushing the fuel rails down on the injectors, it took me a couple tried until i could get them all to get into place...
stupid question - you moistened the o-rings before putting the injectors back?

When you put the injectors in the rails did you use any lubricant on the O rings?

I read an article on installing injectors and they said to put some non-petrolieum lubricant on the O rings. They used some K-Y Jelly so that's what I used to and no leaks at all.
