Subject:Re: Vacuum System Parts on 1.9 - "Y's" and Constrictors...

Thanks guys for the info, sounds like the past is NLA I take it? I guess I
will try and piece something together or find a used one.

As for the constrictor, is this mission critical if it has no effect on the
distributor?  If so I figure I can just call the end with jb weld and drill
a tiny hole in it...

It is part 15 in the diagram above... Critical or not?
Also, that says 15mm, but the line is 3.5mm... How can that be?
Thanks

Hi David.

Thanks for your corrections. I really should keep a copy of Bentley
near my computer!
