I stumbled onto this old thread...

Re: period correct tunnel rams carbs
 

Soooo..... how do you hook up the vacuum line for the carbs and brake booster with these TR's??

Re: period correct tunnel rams carbs
 

Drill and tap.

Or run a vacuum canister from a vacuum port off the carb. Will the cam supply enough vacuum at idle? Roughly 15&quot; or so minimum.

Hmm.... no idea. I guess we are going vacuum canister....

Re: period correct tunnel rams carbs
 

I have seen people just running vac off the carb baseplate but I would not think that would be enough volume for the brakes plus I wouldnt consider it safe. I think the canister is the best route or run manual discs.

Gonna join the tunnel ram club and revive an old thread. Yes I know the top plate is backwards. Its all just for looks. I'll be cleaning this one up here soon.

I'm hoping to get a tunnel ram on mine sometime this winter. I've got 2 to choose from, a Offy and a TR2X, but I haven't decided which one to use.

Still running mine, although it's off now while I'm getting the heads redone.

This kid was indeed the talk of the school.....
