wicked squeaks, possibly TPEFI related

[George M. Dailey]

Dope Dope Doooooope! I've been squeaking for a year...and this is all I
needed to do! I teed off of the power brake to the passenger (left hand
side) PCV valve...looked like a PCV to me...one side had vacuume I assumed
the other needed vacuume to. I neatly capped the fitting you refered to.

TPI swappers, don't let this tidbit get you also.

Thanks,

GMD
