I have a th400 and since I converted to the dominator, what can I do about the vacuum line. I have a port on the back on the intake that runs my brake booster, can I T this and be fine?

A-OK as both are closed systems.

man, is that a rubber fuel line,if it is, put a metal one in its place.
i know i know, a lot of people do it that way, but i had a 69 grand prix turn to ashes when a rubber line like that rubbed a hole during a dr. pepper run.
dont let that happen to you. oh and the big block looks slick.

I thought I had clicked on a pic of a top fuel car, or shootout car! That is bad a$$! If it was mine, I'd drive around with no hood!!!

A friend of mine years ago had that problem with a rubber fuel line. Be safe. Engine looks good.

That is pushlock fuel line. It is what all of the dirt trackers and drag racers use. That stuff is super thick and has a hard exterior.

WOW....What size big block is that? specs?

cochran63 · 08-02-2005, 10:21 PM

It is a 11.4:1 427 with a set of the bill "grumpy" jenkins Merlin heads. I only wish I would have kept the CR under 10.5.
