    I have the RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifold for my 302 and I have all the threaded holes in it and it has been a *long* time since I disassembled the engine so I dont remember what goes where. I just know where the temperature sending unit goes and after that I am a bit lost. I know there is probably a vacuum fitting that goes somewhere. I shouldnt need it cause I dont have any accessories but if someone has a picture of their set up and can help me out that would be grand. Thanks guys.

    The port in the cooling passage directly behind the thermostat is for the heater hose. Port on drivers side front cooling passage is where I have my temp sender. The remaining holes (2) are in the intake runners and plennum for vacuum purposes and can be plugged or connected to accessories

    if your car is an automatic you'll still need a port for vacume lines i would think
