How many vacuum ports?

How many vacuum ports would be required when converting to multipoint? I have a plenum which is in a state of butchered and before welding it back together I need to think about vacuum ports for things. I assume MAP/MAF sensor, boost gauge, PCV. What else? The plenum previously had 2 big ass brass n...

They have different symptoms. Injector internal leak, car runs like shit and blows oodles of black smoke. Leaky o-ring leaks fuel everywhere.

Some would be, 18s or larger definitely, but 16s on JA and 17s on JBD you could get away with as long as the width wasn't too silly.

Yes, lube it. You need to get into the rear part of the hinge, not just the front side of it. They're really strange, 2 actions happen when they operate.

So jam your finger in that tub of grease and get poking.

Painting the floor is a great idea as it's easy to find stuff you drop against it vs concrete, keeps the dust down too. Use a 2 pack though, oil and petrol will eat into regular paving paint if it's left to sit for any length of time.
