If you're talking about the pic with the manifold on the belt sander, that's
for the balance tube, that's the correct place for one on a dual port Kad
manifold. If you're looking for vacuum for an SVDA, you have to drill into
the venturi passage above the throttle butterfly.

Will,
This link will take you the Simms website.
http://www.lowbugget.com/kadron_labor.html The picture on the top right is
how they drilled and tapped the ports. This is below the butterfly valve.
Is this the correct place to add the ports? There is a boss there.
Thanks,
Ronnie
