Some other small things that are different when using the 6 pack intake are that you need to use a V-6 Dakota throttle cable. Also there isn't any provision for mounting the MAP sensor. The guys from F&B have been very helpful with assistance and suggestions about where they have mounted them before.

The first option is to mount it on this post that sticks up.



The MAP will connect to this vacuum port.




The second option is this hole threaded into the manifold.




And would look like this mounted here. I'd have to find a small bushing that I could use for a stand off from the intake.




I'm liking option 2 more but am open to thoughts from others as to where or how to mount the MAP sensor.

 

Option 2 looks like it would be simpler and cleaner.
The nice thing about the MAP sensor is it can really be mounted anywhere. The only issue would come from the slight delay that would arise from a longer vacuum hose.

 

Had to go to the doctors office today so didn't get home until after 1PM so didn't get a lot done today. I stopped in town and picked up some bolts and hose but of course didn't get the correct size home I need.

But I got the MAP sensor mounted in the Option 2 spot and like how it looks there. Since the only vacuum port is the one on the rear of the manifold I'm going to have to run a fitting off it with a few ports for different vacuum needs.
1) Vacuum to the MAP
2) Vacuum to the HVAC controls
3) Vacuum to vapor canister
Can anyone think of anything else I'll need vacuum to? I don't need vacuum to the brake booster as I have a hydroboost instead.

Here is the MAP sensor mounted with a 1/4" bolt. I had to drill the bushing in the sensor out to fit the bolt and then used a 1/2" sleeve to stand the MAP sensor off the intake manifold.



Need to pick up some shorter lengths of hose and a vacuum T.



Here is the vacuum diagram I am going off of.


Front of the engine with the belts installed but will have to pull the Alternator-A/C bracket back off to get the intake installed evenly on the block and hook up the by-pass hose.




Got the correct by-pass hose today

 

Nothing else I can think of for vacuum. Hydrovac? Do you mean hydroboost?

 

Yes a hydroboost, I have NO idea what I was thinking when I typed that.

 

I figured lol. What pump are you running? I know the hydroboost pump has 3 "fittings" where some people just tee the two return lines together

 

I'm running a complete PSC system with hydro assist steering my steering box is tapped for the steering ports. The remote reservoir has the additional ports for return lines.

 

Ahh hydro assist makes sense man! On my Ram I plan on running full hydro with the factory pump and reservoir and a tapped redhead. Motor is looking sweet!!

 

Turning 37" tires in the rocks is not fun with a stock steering box that is for sure. But with the PSC pump and hydro assist I can turn them with one finger and then the hydro boost helps a LOT with the brakes.

I got side tracked with a few other things today so I didn't get much done. Put I did get my rocker arms installed along with all the pushrods so now I just need to get them adjusted. I also got the reduction bushing in for my 2nd coolant temp probe. I have the factory one and then one for my fan controller. I have a SPAL fan controller that allows you to set it so the fan will come on at 50% speed at a programed temp and then 100% at another programed temp.

 

Went back out to the garage and had to take the bag off so I could get some pictures of the rocker arms installed.
