[T3] My final question on IAD's

[William Jahn]

I have the back cover off , the one with the PCV pipe. I looked at both
ports, to the trans modulator and both are after the throttle plate. Both
ports are also 5/16" OD but inside the ID is very small , small enough only
a small wire , can't get a pipe cleaner through them. I have mine Teed
together the one facing down at the throttle end and the one facing out
with the runner pipe RT side . I didn't go over the top in the runner pipe
for 1&2 mine both run down long hose on the front one  the tee is a few
inches back from #1 runner pipe.

 Tram one of the Samba members is sending me one which has only one
modulator pipe next to the AAR fitting. I imagine one will work since
earlier models like 71 only had one minus the PCV pipe. I have a 72 model
year on the car now the only difference between it and the 73 , no EGR pipe
,it's blank there, the extra vacuum port the the dual port vacuum can , it
does have the PCV pipe on the back cover. It seems only late 72 and all 73
have the PCV pipe, well at least CA built cars , as far as I know the EGR
was only used on 73 CA built cars.
