Guys, working with the starter i probably pulled this vacuum line from somewhere. It is coming from inside the firewall probably to the vacuum switch near the heater core etc. any idea where it connects in the engine?

Solenoids on the ac system next to the vacuum bottle.

Just noticed on your picture the plug wires are marked backwards. #1 is the first plug on the front of the engine. Curious how you came up with that.

Firing order is 153624 Counter clock wise.

Thanks. Yes the wires were just marked as I was working on the starter and had to take the 3 out so just marked them in order from the firewall out 🙂

I like your valve cover. I sand blasted a few over the years but the last one I added some shine with super fine sandpaper. I did the Nissan part and liked it so I went further and shined up the 3 lines that run the length of the cover. Then cleared it with high heat satin. I don't have a picture of the final iteration but you see the start...

Looks very nice … I was thinking the same but got lazy before they powdered it. Getting the powder off is a pain. It is a pretty heavy layer.
