Just about to finish up my 87 T1 to 89 cb swap. The old T1 vac. lines are pretty much junk and I don't see any future in trying to reuse them. I have noticed a few guys on this site are using some sort of multi port block to route the vac. lines. Where can I get one?
Also, A couples months back somebody posted a list of exactly what sensors needed boost/vac lines. Anybody have the link to that thread? Thanks:D

You can get the blocks from www.fwdperformance.com

You will need a line to go to the map, WGA, and FPR for sure.

if you haven't put the intake manifold on yet, you can do what I did.

I had my TI intake manifold tapped with four vacuum sources on the front side. This way I had a vacuum source deciated to the FPR, MAP, BOV and boost controller.

It got rid of all the vacuum distrubition block crap. Looks good too.

Motors in. All that is left is plumbing and wiring.

3 needed to run the car:

Manifold to Fuel pressure regulator

Manifold to MAP sensor

Manifold to boost control - either G valve or WG selinoid

Then a line for a boost guage / BOV too.

All the rest are emissions and can be capped / tossed out.

You can get vaccume off the manifold 3 different places - brake booster port, the small pipe for the PCV, and the tapped nipple in front.

Hope this helps.... :thumb:
