Can a Y piece be used to connect where the oil pressure sender is? Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: 'Robert Craig' via Quantum Owners Group To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 8:21 PM Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Vacuum & Volts gauge mounting & install
Personally, I would rather have an oil pressure gauge than a vacuum one. It means fitting a sandwich plate at the filter but that's simple enough.

Thanks again Jim. Calum.

With the K&N fitted this outlet from the manifold should have been blanked off. The would have also been a vacuum pipe up to the original crankcase filter on the air filter housing, this should also be blanked off. From memory they both came from the same Y fitting screwed into the inlet manifold. The temperature controlled valve i meant is screwed into the inlet manifold and has 3 vacuum pipe connections. It’s like a 2 way switch for vacuum, it connects the various cylinders in circuit for different engine temperatures. I seem to remember one delays the vacuum and the other sustains it, to give some rough control over the ignition timing. If it’s all working ok then leave it but it was the first thing i removed if anything was playing up.

All little vacuum cylinders on pipe are still in place, must have a look for the blank your talking about, mine is a manual choke too if that's what temp. sensor is for.

If you’ve still got the temperature controlled valve and the various little cylinders (to do with emissions) between the manifold and the distributor then make the T at the manifold side. I always used to dump all that lot through and connect the distributor directly to the inlet manifold. Or, if the vacuum controlled air filter has been removed then you could use the manifold outlet for that which hopefully is blanked off at the moment.
