Can I use S4 solemnoids in my S5?
When I was installing my S4 block into my S5, I broke the nipples of 2 vacuum rack solenoids. I have the corresponding solenoids on my S4 vacuum rack still in good shape.
So can I just substitute these for my broken ones? The only external difference is the nipples are on the front and back instead of front and top as on the S5, but I have extra vac line to route it.

The solenoids are the same. Take note that the FILTER can be pulled off and installed on the *other* nipple. So if you have a solenoid that needs replacement, and the new solenoid is configured different, just pull the Filter off and install it on the other nipple.
You DON'T want to just add extra length vacuum line to route to the open nipple because the solenoid won't work right.
