Just an alternative. Keep the air pump. Use a solenoid similar to the grey one on the left side of the engine. Run two pieces of wire from the two wires on the BLUE solenoid to the new solenoid. Get two pieces of vac hose. One runs from the aux port feed pipe to the solenoid. The other runs from the other nipple on the solenoid to a plastic barb pipe that you insert into the large feed hose b/t the air pump and the acv.
The Blue solenoid gets a ground signal at 3500rpm. That will trigger your new solenoid to open a path b/t the air pump and the pipe that feeds the six ports.
Cost? About three to five bucks. Guarenteed to open ports fully at 3500 rpm. Its just a copy cat of the 89 and up model cars.

Thanks for the info Hailers. Actually I have a working 6th port with my ACV and air pump. Since I no longer have my cat, I wanted to remove my ACV and air pump so now I need an RPM activated 6th port.

I know they'll work but it will be easier for me to find an air compressor for horns.
So, will the air horn compressor pupms out at least 2 psi when activated?
