8. ByPASS VALVE CONNECTION

Automatic Transmission Only:

Connect the included length of 3/16" vacuum

hose to the fitting on the bypass valve. Route

the hose away from moving parts and sharp

edges to the area immediately behind the

throttle body.
Locate the OEM

1/2" vacuum hose connected

to the intake manifold immediately behind the

throttle body to a fitting angled up and toward

the driver side. Cut the hose right after the

2nd half of the OEM clamp. (See Fig. 8B-1)
Locate the supplied 1/2" straight barb fitting

with the 1/16" NPT port on the side. Apply a

small amount of pipe sealant to the threads of

the supplied 1/16" NPT hose nipple fitting and

install it into the threaded port. (See Fig. 8B-2)
Use a drill bit that fits the inside diameter of

the ½” barbed union fitting (typically 5/16”) to

drill out the bore of the ½” barbed union. You

will be removing the portion of the 1/16” NPT

hose nipple that protrudes into the bore.
Insert one of the 1/2" barb ends of the TEE fit-

ting into the OEM hose connected to the fit-

ting on the intake manifold and secure with

the outer half of the OEM double clamp.

Connect the other end of OEM 1/2" hose to

the free 1/2" end of the TEE and secure with

the OEM clamp.
Trim the 3/16" hose from the bypass valve to

length and insert it onto the open fitting on the

TEE.
