    I have a non threaded hole on my 99 intake presumably where the vacuum line for the power steering pressure valve should go. Any idea what the fitting looks like?
    I could plug it but what are my options there as well?

    That steering switch just taps into the vacuum anywhere on each side of the butterfly.....

    Thanks!
    What does that fitting look like? That port on my intake is not threaded.

    I think there is like 2 or 3 different plugs/holes there...

    the newer with electronic switch just plug those....

    your talking about 8psi.....so not much.....to seal it...


    I've got that upper plenum I pulled off an old 4 banger taco 5 years ago...
    tomorrow I'll go look thru the junk pile and see if I can find that....

    Well I looked at mine....and that tube appears to be pressed in....

    There's a plug below that I've seen others use.

    IF so the high one should be easy to plug since it only a few lbs of vacuum..

    and find something to thread in the lower....
