Default FLP LVL IV Vacuum Mod Help

Instlling the trans now and need to know where to hook the vacuum mod line. I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Went to the FLP site didn't show anything. Help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nick

The brake vacuum tube, coming off the side of the brake vacuum booster.

Did they send you all the hardware?

I'm assuming thats the line going directly into the side of my intake. Pretty thick hose. I guess I cut in the center and splice in...? If so all the hardware is there.... BTW, Thanks.

This is exactly right. FLP installed my trans, and this is where they spliced into; the brake booster vacuum line.....

Thanks again to both of you for the short notice help. I just got done with my test drive and the tranny is working great. Unfortunately, it started raining right as I was pulling out of my damn garage. Test run was fun but not as much fun as it could have been. *** end side was at 65mph on a wet street just isn't as much fun as it should be..... Nick

I finally got my test drive on dry pavement...

Then somebody was nice enough to put his rear bumper and trailer hitch through the side of the car. What a great day.

That really sucks, sorry to hear it....

The only good news is that once you get the cosmetics fixed up, you'll have a top notch trans already installed.

RPM, Thanks for pointing out the positive side of things. Just a little frustrating.
