I have a IO 360 with API fuel system, and I have to hook up a manifold

pressure gage.  Where so you hook up to get that pressure?

Jim,

  I drilled and tapped the aft side of the API upper  flange

 for 16th pipe threads. Installed a flare fitting for a hose  hook up.

 Did this for the MAP and E-Mag systems.

  Or you can take it off any cylinder primer  port.

Thanks for the ideas.  I was hoping that there was a port some where on

the air meter from API.  I'm surprised that they don't provide a port.  

I guess I'll pull it apart and do a tapped hole.  I've got dual "P" mags

so I need MP for them also like you did.  There is no other port

available with fuel injection that I'm aware of.

Just take it off the primer port on #3 cylinder. You won't be using it for primer since you've got FI.

Jim,



Maybe I missed something here, but weren't you asking about the manifold

pressure for a Superior IO-360 180hp from Aerosport Power? If so, there is a

port on each cylinder which I believe can also be used as a primer port. The

recommended port to use is the right cylinder, closest to the firewall,

which would be #3. The port is on the corner of the cylinder head closest to

the firewall, lower side. The black fabric-covered hose (VA119?)that came

with my firewall forward stuff from Vans was sized to go from that port to

the firewall location shown on the drawings. My AFP fuel injection system,

installed by Bart, injects fuel into a port on the top of the cylinder head,

directly above the port I am talking about.



The drawing on the second sheet of my "Pre-start and Breakin Procedures"

papers from Aerosport show a drawing of the rear of the engine and label

this port "maniford pressure conn."

Hi Terry,

        I had not mentioned the brand of the engine but its a Mattituck

build of ECI parts.  I was not aware of a port in the lower part of the

cylinder.  I will look for it tonight.  I had looked over the top of the

engine and around the throttle body / air meter of the AFP unit and had

not found any port to take  manifold pressure from.  Many thanks for the

heads up!
