Look at the lower intake manifold. at the VERY TOP of the manifold, REAR (closest to firewall), you see something connected. it has a black tube, and it LOOKS like the blue thing is coming out of it.



That is where it hooks up.

We planed the top of the LIM down a ton, and the wingnut on top of the carb still poked a dent in my hood. So i swore at the wingnut and filed it down. Now no problems.



2 things you can do:

1)Slot your engine mounts

2)Plane the top of the LIM

This is all very interesting. I still need to find the brake booster thing on my 20B manifold. I figured I'd make my own, but if I can find the stock location, I'd prefere to use it.

You could always drill/tap a 1/4npt fitting somewhere for the brakes. I ended up doing that in my plenum for my MAP sensor.
