Jeffds1360 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I have nowhere to tap into Pete. Vac off carb is of course zero and blips up to 20 when revved. How can I easily tap off the manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a needle valve on the back (or mine did) you screwed it in until the dial stopped fluctuating. Most FUN was in the RED zone!. You kept it in the green zone on Thursday and Friday until the Golden Eagle Shat, around 5pm, then crawled to the Garage, to top up for the FUN to begin again!.

Pete I've got a Redex version (Car Care or Petrol Robot?) and it's too distracting to use whilst driving. You get paranoid when it goes to the red... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
