So went down to good ole pep boys. Had the idea to drill and tap for extra fittings into the manifold. Would rather everything have its on vacuum source.

Of course as always, I buy something and then seconds later find something even better and more practical. Haven't seen much feedback on these "6 port vacuum blocks".

Is anyone running one? What are the pros and con's of it? Is it not really giving everything it's own vacuum source? It just seems like a big pretty T for vacuum lines. Also, for how cheap they are, I don't see to many people running them.

It's just not common to need that many vacuum fittings for these cars.
my buddy has one with "hose candy" lines on his 01 lightning, works really well.
I'm using one as an oil manifold for my turbo oil feed and sensor taps, and it works fantastic for that. all they are is a literal block, so if you have a large enough line to the manifold, its just an extension of that.

That's a good idea. Looks good too!

My OCD is making me want to come to your house and solder those connections, though.

Thanks! It seems to work very well.
yea, i solder all day, and got home to do that and didn't have my gun or solder with me... eventually I will fix it, but itll prolly be after I put the holset on. kinda on the zero-fx-given train right now. you're welcome anytime tho, ha
