Well Guy's,
The old girl is finally up and running again. This is with a short term engine, not the final version.
However, the anciliaries are as will be.

Hi Min,
They are the boost/vacuum take off ports. They feed the vacuum pot on the rear of the engine bay. As i am running ITB's, this is an ideal place to pull vac/boost from.

Ok, but why is there two hoses coming off each one?

It links cylinders 1+4 & 2+3. I have found by linking all the cyls, you get a nice steady vacuum or boost. If you only pick up off 1 or 2 cyls, you get quite a heavy pumping action.

Good God!
That is ridiculous! An amazing amount of nice custom work there. I feel special that at least my car and your car seem to share the same timing belt, if nothing else.
