Roy - I was refering to the restrictive orifices in the picture attached.

Aren't these used to limit the vacuum or am I completely confused?

The small yellow one is pretty free-flowing.
The small white one and the small green one are pretty close with the green one slightly more restrictive, I think. They're real close.

Not sure what else I'm missing; perhaps the "dampfer" #72 in the vacuum diagram.

Right now, I have the big green damper between the main vac line and the IP. It does a good job of stabilizing the vacuum signal. It's a steady 13 between the damper and the VCV (M Pump) Since i don't have a switch over valve, do I put the smaller restrictors in line between the VCV and the modulator?

Brian Carlton Mentions "setting" his pressure to 8 but I'm not sure how he accomplished that. No matter what size restriction I put between the main line and the VCV, the reading is always the same.

On another note: I tried disconnecting all vacuum to the trans and it never shifted out of 1st gear. That doesn't seem right based upon what I've read.
