Are you saying that the injection pump is vacuum operated, and that the line from the throttle body to the injection pump is required? That is the reason that I need to keep the throttle butterflies?
YES

Which rod are you referring to?
(10)

Good to know, thank you.


Ok so then there must have been a nipple on the intake pipe that I don't have. Thank you.
It was on a rubber piece before the inlet, you can use anything

Ok that makes sense since that one would be measuring the temp coming out of the radiator I think. I will use the one in the head and see if I can get away without an aux fan.


Ok so the side without the hose could potentially be used for a brake booster? I'm going to try to keep it to manual brakes so I will remove the pump if I can, but you said that the injection pump is vacuum operated? So does the engine produce enough vacuum for that without the separate vacuum pump?
The butterfly uses a venturi to create vacuum for the operation of the injection pump


Makes sense, thanks.
