Victory Report and Part # Request



I bought my 16V almost four years ago and have had a mysterious problem
that both Al and I have spent hours trying to isolate. Under full
throttle the car would miss, but it was never consistent. We were both
thinking it had to be a short somewhere that was exacerbated by the
movement of the motor when under WOT.  This was present before and after
the engine swap.  Tonight on the way home from running errands it got
REALLY bad.  I could barely accelerate and getting up over the bridges
of the harbor was more than exciting. I let everything cool and started
it up to hear this awesome sucking sound. Using my keen ears I located
the vacuum leak.  And now for the part number request. The hose that
comes off of the bottom fuel distributor that makes a "T" and goes to
the head, has some kind of pump or diverter located at the "T." This
hose tore at the tee and I was able to save a small portion to get it to
clamp back onto the metal nipple.  Any one that has ETKA that could run
that number for me would be greatly appreciated.  I'll have to call the
Potterman today and get it ordered.

TIA,

Dave
