Yes Mark, that would be the right place.

Richard,
Thanks for the great information. That supports what instinct was
telling me. So, anywhere upstream of the butterfly should work? I'm
running three 1-barrel throttle-bodies on my p-port 3-rotor. If I
understand you, I should hook the check valve for each rotor upstream of the
respective TB butterfly, correct?

Mark,
you need the injection check valves hooked up to your intake plenum. The
oil intake only works with the pressure difference between the combustion
chamber and the plenum during the intake cycle. The check valve prevents oil
from being pushed into the vacuum lines by reverse pressure fluctuations.
As far as the control lever is concerned, you have a good plan. You may
want to make the lever position adjustable so you can set the oil consumption
to a level that makes you and the engine feel good.
FWIW

Is
anyone running an oil metering pump (OMP) that can help me figure out how the
lines should be connected. I'm planning on using the Mazda banjo
fittings to hook up to the OMP, but what do I do with the check valves.
Do you connect the check valves to a vacuum source or just block them
off? Will the system work properly if I plug the check valves? I
plan on locking the lever in the full open position. Will this work for
a/c use? I'll be using Richard Sohn's adapter with a 1 gallon reservoir
filled with 2-stroke oil.
