Anyone make their own vacuum distribution block?
I saw a topic a while ago on how someone made their own vacuum distribution block. I just needed a list of parts and how they went about making it.

just tap a nipple barb fitting on your intake manifold...easier than vac distribution block...
or you can try to use a spare IAB canister

Re: Anyone make their own vacuum distribution block? (Flamenco-T)
yeah, i was actually thinking about doing that. Some people i know did that and it turned out good for them. I was gonna drill a few holes and go down to home depot and grab the nipple barbs. What size should i use? and are their certain ones you recommend?

you could also go to your local autoparts store and buy 5 way vaccuum T... they are like $3 for a pack of 5. They dont have quite the 'bling' factor as an aluminum block, but they work just fine.

i would not try doing this on your own. the maifold is cast alluminum and will crack with little pressure. just go to an autoparts store and buy 1/8 npt barb fittings and take them to your local machine shop and have them do it for you. thats what i did and it came out really nice and it only cost me 40$!!

Re: Anyone make their own vacuum distribution block? (maztur)
nah, it's not as hard as you think it is...
use a good titanium coated drill bit, fresh ones prefereably...drill enough until you can use a 1/8" NPT tap and tap the thread on the IM..

Re: Anyone make their own vacuum distribution block? (Flamenco-T)
I just made my own from a solid block of alumanum....I was also thinking of welding ends onto an alumanium pipe and then drillings holes into it and making vaccum ports...which i might still do...
Kino, how much would ya pay for a vaccum box setup?

Page 159 of your mcmaster catalog has some inexpensive aluminum vaccum manifolds. No fancy anodizing tho.

Drilling an intake manifold is not very hard...

You could always go buy the plastic vacuum log for a 87-93 5.0 Mustang... It's got like 6 barbed nipple connections, and it costs like $10.
