I might have to sell my MAM vaccum block to make one them them LOL

Or you could buy one for $35 from a tuner shop and not have your underhood shots look like industrial doo doo.

so i just bought the block and thought that paying for a the pack of adapters was pointless. Im just gonna go to AceHardware or HomeDepot for the fittings. im sure they have them

I never was into 'bling.' Effectiveness > style.

I'm just saying, they already sell them for less $ than that DIY vac block you'd be making, and they kind of look better, not blingy. I have no "show" on my car at all.

I'm sure you could save a few dollars by purchasing the fittings and such elsehwere, but this 'kit' brings all to the parts to your door for very little coin. Personally I don't have too much time to myself so I'll pay a little extra for convenience.

To each their own.

$17 for an all aluminum, black-anodized vacuum block and you're saying that's "industrial" and expensive? You could easily pick that up, run to Advance Auto for some threaded fittings and be done for under $30 and you have something that looks just as good as the Vibrant ($40 w/o fittings) and it doesn't have any stupid logos on it!

Ok I'm trying to make one of these from Grainger instead of Mcmaster since I have a Grainger down the street and I can just go pick this stuff up. Did I get the right stuff?

Manifold

Brass Hose Barb,3/8 In

Hose Barb,Straight,1/8 MNPT,3/16 In Barb

Counter Sunk Plug,1/8 In,MNPT

I've never done anything like this let alone tried to convert part numbers for another company...lol so I hope everything here goes togther???

BTW the prices have gone up a bit.lol

as of today this one will cost $38.31 You could do it just under $34.00 but I ordered a few extra of each, just in case something got lost
