As I recall there was a port on the left hand side (looking at the front) of the TB, about on line with the shaft pointed downward. I think it was just a hole in an aluminum boss.It opens to the manifold right in back of the butterfly plate. I JB welded a tube in there for a while, but it worked loose, so I removed the tube and plugged it up since I have three other manifold pressure sensing ports in my manifold and did not need it.

Ok, thanks,Rusty, Can't keep all the configurations everyone has in my tired old brain {:>). By the way the TB in question I mentioned was 75mm.

Thanks Ed. I'm still trying to decide which way to go, but I have to pick a size either way. Plenty of options, but the two leading choices at the moment are to duplicate what I already have, using larger tubes and either a 48 or 50 dual TB from TWM. I could also do the shoebox intake trick, and use a single 65-70 TB. Decisions, decisions.

Do you know if the mustang TB has a MAP port? I know it has an air motor attachment that has to be dealt with, but can that be used for MAP?

Thanks,

Rusty (pager, paging)
