An update of my post from last month:

Intake Leak Tester alternative

If any of you are thinking about making an intake
manifold pressure tester ala Mike Miller style
(http://www.blackfoot.net/~hlm5860/Tester.html)
there might be a slightly easier/cheaper way.
I made one last week with a hard end cap for
2.5" PVC pipe (the white stuff), which has an
OD almost identical to the MAF's.  The end
of the Michelin Man hose easily slips over the
end cap and can be clamped using the stock hose
clamp that is already there over the end of the
hose. The only work involved in making the tool
was drilling the hole for the threaded-shaft
tire valve to go through and cinch over (easily
done with a hole saw; 5/8" I think).
