vacuum line question

89lxinwky · 07-01-2002, 06:27 PM

I swapped from stock to GT-40 intake. Looks to be one less vacuum hose on the GT-40 than on stock. The car is running fine with one of the lines plugged but can I "Tee" it into one of the other hoses coming out of the intake?
Thanks

P.S. I finally got back to the track the other night after swapping intakes/tb/cam, home porting the heads, and a few other little things. In the 1/8th, I gained .4 sec and 4mph which calculates to over 40 hp. I'll take it.

Manifold vacuum is the same in all the lines that go directly to the intake, so inserting a "T" won't cause any ill effects. Go for it.

Take care,
-Chris
