What type TB you running?

Since where on the victor jr intake.

#1 What size fitting goes here? I know its going to be a 90 degree elbow male of some sort to hook up the brakes but what size? Yes I know the intake is backwards

#2 What goes here the Map sensor vac line?

It says somewhere on the paperwork with the Edelbrock the thread size...

I think it was 3/8NPT ??

As for no 2....

You can connect any vac/boost items you want to it. Be it a guage, map sensor, FPR, whatever.

I just used ot for my BOV's and used driled a couple of new fittings in the alloy block on the intake elbow for FPR and boost guage, and map sensor.

I agree with what he /\ said.

#1- It is a 3/8 NPT fitting
#2- Works perfect for your MAP sensor

I'm doing the same thing as you, drilling the back of the elbow for a threaded IAT, BOV and WG. Boost guage will tie into the brake booster fitting.

How about you send me the intake for porting with your heads so I can flow them on the same bench. Then a cam will be spec'd according to that

#1 The one for the Booster is 3/8" NPT X 1/2" Barb 90 degree fitting. I would like to see how you have yours setup.

Its a -8 hose going to the brake booster. ( I also fitted a one way check valve so the booster doesnt see positive pressure )

Although I dont think Ive come across a booster yet where boost has been a problem.

The 90's were soruced from a local air tool shop. They are just simple pneumatic fittings. Similar to the fittinges used on Snow meth kits.

Hose just pushes in, easy to remove, and rated to something like 10 bar.

I just bolted mine to the side of the elbow.



Although Im using a different TB. Shouldnt make any odds though. Just be sure to use nyloc nuts or similar, so they cant come undone lol

The brackets that come with it are just random brackets, intended for a carb install.

I threw them out.

line it up and drill a hole, out a nylon washer on the inside and out to make sure no leak. and use a nylon locking nut on the inside. unless you weld a bracket on it

I found the LS6 intake quite bland....Im not usually into bling or shiny stuff....but I do think the Victor Jnr + elbow's do look class.

Even if I dont think it makes me go any faster....
