Sourcing Nipples to attach Vacuum balancer?
Jon Suggested that Mig Welding tips would screw into the intake manifolds. Does anyone have any additional suggestions as to where one may source nipples to attach a homemade vaccuum balancer to the intake manifold?

OK, did some research. The thead is supposed to be M5 x .8.
You can pick up some M5 x .8 allen bolts and drill a hole down thru the center to make some nipples. Put some grease on the outside to make a seal so you get good vacuum.

Wow Jon! That's 5 options in less than 24 hours. If only I could get that level of service from the dealer. I'd say you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. I was going to swing by a welding shop today and check out the mig tips but It was easier just to click and pay. Thanks again! Your help is much appreciated!
