I am having some issues with the manifold pressure installation. Van supplies a VA-118 hose and bulkhead nut with restrictor to be installed between number 4 cylindar and the firewall. I can see his intent is to get the manifold sensor in behind the firewall.
My issue is that I have duel P-mags. I would like to run a hose from number 3cylindar (left side of engine), to the sensor block. I will then run one line to my PMags and another line behind the firewall to the sensor.
Is there any reason (other than convenience) to select one cylinder over another in terms of measuring manifold pressure?
I also question Van?s design of the restrictor somewhat. If the intent is to stop the manifold pressure port from ?leaking too quickly?, what will happen if the VA-118 hose leaks, bursts etc? How critical is this restrictor to engine performance?
Thanks/Regards
