Does anyone have a pic of Check valves installed on their car?
I'm looking to see exactly where the check valve should be placed.. no not a Missing Link, but a regular check valve. I know some people use the cheap ones from petshops.. but Earl's Performance makes billet aluminum ones. So, anyone got pics? Thanks guys.

It looks ghetto, but it worked (not my car, BTW) It would have probably worked better if the map sensor was at a 90 degree angle to the initial line, instead of straight through...

Dustin,
Hey thanks alot for that quick reply! Btw, he just took off the MAP and had a line going from the Tbody to the check valves then back to the MAP? I wonder how long that fitting on the Tbody will hold for.

It was pressed on pretty tight, but I am sure there is a better way of doing it.

i know you probably can't see it too good,but i have a piece of flat aluminum stock with a brass fitting in it on the hole where the map goes on the tb--i drilled holes in the aluminum that match up to the mounting holes for the map on the tb,and used a shorter screw(or you can use some washers on the long ones)and drilled and tapped a hole for a 1/8"npt vaccuum fitting,threaded the fitting in until it was snug.it stuck out the bottom about 1/8",so then i sanded the bottom of the aluminum so the fitting was perfectly flush....i used the rubber o-ring from the map on the bottom of the aluminum to seal it,and it works great,no problems with vaccuum leaks at all--i've also made one out of plexiglass--either works the same
