Just take an old omp and measure the output tubes on it and get a couple of brass Ts or something from Lowes or Home depot. Drill holes and JB weld 'em in. Try to place them to run down the primary runners since thats where it will see the most oil.

Ok, I can handle that. I've never used JB Weld on a car before, wasn't sure how it would hold up to the heat etc. Didn't want to trash my intake testing out theories, ya know. LOL! Been looking for that throttle lever w/threaded piece that was on yoours. It's perfect for adjusting etc., but haven't seen anything like it yet. The lever is the easy part, but any idea where to find the plastic threaded piece?

Well the lever pivot itself was 24mm from the the throttle center to where the bar attached. Just make one out of a screw cut to size sticking out of the lever. Drill it through to fit the rod I sent you and tap the end of the screw to accept a setscrew to hold the rod at the desired position.

You make that sound sooo easy! 'll give her a shot,, b last time I tried to drill a hole through a screw I ended up with a hole in my finger. maybe a vice would be advised?!
