tehzack Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Run the vacuum line to the port closest to the firewall on the throttlebody. Thats how winners do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehzack Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 There's 4 vacuum ports on the throttle body that face your driver side strut tower. 3 in a row and one underneath those 3. You want your bov to run off the port closest to the firewall in the row of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberquest Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 if yours is a 5 speed car it will have a bolt plugging a hole on the manifold, remove that and install a nipple there and run your BOV from it. use a nice size line and give it a good strong vac source it doesnt share with anything else and it will perform and respond much better. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/Decorated%20images/TB-62.jpg it also runs neatly down the side of the valve cover.http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/car042.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve57 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 i surched EVERYWHERE today for the nipple. i looked in advanched auto,orielys,auto zone,napa, and carquest. i thought for sure i could get one at napa because we sat down and looked it up in the cataloge, so i give him my number and told him to call me if he could get it in. he called back and said he had "Struck out" i was like is that good lol. he said no that that part has be named obsolete. so can one of u guys get me this peace and i pay you for it and you ship it down? that would be great. i did get the BOV working though. line on the buttom of the TB came off.

Napa has drawers of nipple/barb fittings. It's not car specific. Do you have a sears hardware? they also have drawers of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarQuestMike Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Had a hard time myself finding one that would fit in that hole. I ended up buying one off a member on here for 5 bucks. The nipples come on the auto tranny quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
