Re: Manifold Vacuum Fitting

Thanks gents. Spot on as usual.
Though this raises a couple more questions.
Jerry, did you incorporate carbon canisters in your fuel system and if so where did you draw the vacuum lines for the MAP switch and CCV. Secondly is the vacuum connection to the rocker cover critical?
I think what mislead me bit was the size of the fittings. The 5/16” fitting was logically for the 5/16” requirements of the MAP switch and CCV but the 3/8” fitting had me stumped. The barb on the pressure regulator (Indicated by the white arrow, if I am correct) is only about 3/16” so I will probably use a reducing bush to adapt a 3/16” barb tail to the manifold as I doubt that a 3/8” BSP x 3/16” BT would be a standard fitting.
Jim, I have pretty much stuck with the standard RF set up and unless I am badly mistaken there is no prevision for a brake booster in my system?? Although now would certainly be a good time to find out that I was wrong. Thanks for the comments on the car. It has come together fairly good so far but as I am new to this game I would certainly do some things differently next time. Quite some time ago I started a build thread but because my build took second place to work the progress was fairly slow and I did not maintain the progress updates. I might go and see if I can find it and add a couple of progress photo’s.
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated.
