super ram question
Iam going to be installing a super ram on my car. Could someone tell me what the two threaded holes are for inside the plentum. I know the far back hole is for the mat sensor. I did a search and couldn't find anything. Thanks

looking at it from the front the hole on the bottom is for the sensor, the far right goes to brake vaccuum. On the back left one hole is for the vaccuum sensor that has to deal with the egr and the other other is for the vaccuum line that routes from behind the distributor. I think it goes somewhere close the purge canister area if memory serves me right. I plugged the rest up. Thats how it is on my 86.

Thanks for the replies. I know what all the other holes are for on the backside. Their are 2 holes if you take the lid off and stare down at it. They go trough passages that go to 2 small openings just behind ware the air enters from the throttle body. Sorry I would post a picture but it would take me for ever. Like the last time I tried to.

On mine, I use 1 port for the fuel pressure regulator, another for the map sensor and the third plugged. I take the power brake vacuum from the manifold port between 3 and 5. If I still had heat and air, I would use the 3rd vacuum port for that.

i think those are supposed to be sealed and plugged.
Google for a set of install directions and i'm almost positive that the directions state to plug those holes with allen plugs and seal them with red loctite.

EGR gases come up the EGR riser tube on pass side runner and go through the cast passage to the holes behind the TB.
I suspect if you have holes from that passage open into to the plenum they need to be plugged as mentioned above
EGR gases are dumped behind the TB so they get fully distributed and mixed up in the airflow
