The only reason I thought of rerouting is because I bought the Ptuning Oil Distribution Block. I mounted the MAC solenoid on it as an afterthought and already made and installed the hardlines prior to installing the block.





The green is how it's routed right now. Under the intake mani and via vacuum block near the brake booster.

The blue is how I think I should've done it. The pink is where I was going to originally mount the solenoid.

hope that helps and that your'e not in too much awe of my mspaint skills

Thanks a lot! And your paint skills are excellent You also got me thinking I should go get a PTuning oil distribution block...

Sarek

I think it's a great piece!

And voilá, oil distribution and vacuum block ordered and paid And thanks a lot for your pics! Will have to look more closely into doing that.

Sarek

Nice! Glad I can help

I'm also installing a Fullblown catch can and a PTuning oil and vacuum distribution block. With that case, can I use two areas marked in red to vent to the catch can, and the blue one two the vacuum distribution block? Or what would be a good way to do it?

Blue circle.. The main vaccuum source I used was from the brake booster for my VB, behind the IM.

Red circless...You may need bigger holes than the OEM location. With only 14-15psi and venting to the atmosphere, I'm still blowing my dipstick out at full throttle. I'm going to use -12AN in the same locations. I'm sure it's overkill, but I wanted to fit the biggest one I can there.

Those locations are great because of the baffle underneath. It's just a little more effort to open up the hole and fab the fitting on and making sure your hood can still close.







I love pictures!

Thanks! And pictures are allways great About the red circles, I was just thinking about the locations. The plan is to use AN -10. Could the outlets be one straight out to the side, and the other 90 degrees ut like the standard coupler, or should both go out straight to the side? About the blue one, could I use the brake booster to "feed" the vacuum block?

Sarek

I would think both straight out would net you more options since you can put 90 deg on the hose end and "clock" them in any angle you need or should you need to change the angle/setup later.

Yes on the brake booster. That's how mine is routed. IIRC, there is also a one way valve in the brake booster hose. I'll try to get a picture of that too! lol. I'm using a golden eagle VB like this one:

Would there be an advantage of any kind to tap the brake booster line instead of taking the vacuum line from the intake manifold? Or would the function be the same?
