Default Intake Manifold Vacuum/Pressure Test Kit for Sale

Both Shocki and Dwayne used this kit of parts to test there inlet manifold system for leaks.
For those of you challenged with shopping I have put together a kit of parts identical to those used by Shocki and Dwayne.
Kit consists of the 3" to 2" rubber reducer, Low pressure gauge set, adapter and 2" to 3/4" plug.
The gauges were a real challenge due to the fact they are not available for sale here in Texas as they do not meet code. Thanks to Danny Gates who works for Home Depot I was able to get a shipment from CA.
Ready to ship and $28.40 plus shipping.

Nice one!

By the way, that's the same coupler I used on my supercharger setup. Considering it was designed for houshold plubing, that ruber coupler can stand up to some serious abuse.

Tough to tell from the pic but it looks like he's got a schrader valve screwed into the end of it- you ought to be able to use a bike tire inflator on it. I built one of these a while ago and used a 1/4" male air fitting on it, necessitating compressed air as I could not find such a schrader valve with a threaded end on it. .

Yup, the shrader valve will go on top and you can fill it with air from your compressor just as you would for your tires.

Looks like: 3-2 inch coupler then the white plug thing in the top right, then screw in the grey fitting (middle right), and on top of the fitting goes the brass fitting with the pressure gauge and shrader valve for filling. Put some hose clamps on the coupling and you're good to go.
