[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1498485, member: 15940"] Next thing to tackle is the vacuum feed for the brake booster. The nipple on the plenum is 1/2" and the hose on the toy stuff is 3/8". Now you can crimp the 1/2" down to the 3/8" but it looks like ass IMO... I know there are other methods to handle this but here is how I did it.. Took a 3" long 1/4" chunk of pipe and the ID is absolutely perfect to tap out to 1/8" npt (and I mean perfect). So I simply ground one threaded end and tapped it. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/Crashfab/Chris-toy/chris-182.jpg[/IMG] And took a 1/8" npt to 3/8" barbed fitting and walla--perfect adapter,lol. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/Crashfab/Chris-toy/chris-183.jpg[/IMG] So I used a portion of the OEM gm hose, took the check valve and moved it to where the clamp was that held the booster hose and trimmed the hose down--and walla--another thing off the list..
