no more vacuum leaks for me....

The car is a FC with a FD UIM. UIM is tapped with 3/8 npt which will run upto the vacuum manifold on 1/2" line. All other connectors will be the instant fittings (these are a hell of a lot cheaper than braided stainless line and -an connectors) with a plastic hose. I found a good deal on them from: http://www.stc9.com/Stainless_Steel_Fitting.htm
I have 7 1/8" npt fittings and 3 3/8" npt ports on the manifold. I am planning on running 1/4" hose to everything that needs vacuum signal and 1/2" to the brake booster.

The black square is covering the ugliest plug weld known to man (i am to embarrassed to display that to the public). That is also where the uim is tapped.

2x M10x1 -> 1/8npt adapter $8.95 each from summit
4x 1/8"npt -> instant hose fitting 90 degree $3.04/per
6x 1/8"npt -> instant hose fitting straight $1.39/per
1x 1/4"hose barb -> 1/8" npt fitting $3.99 from summit
