Wierd stuff at the junkyard (type 44)!!!

[Konstantine Bogach]

Robert,
I don't know the purpose of this third port but what I noticed that this ICs do not have port for inlet air
sensor.  So, I did not pick such thing up on local junk yard and had to drill my  IC yesterday and glue a PVC
flange with a barb to it.  3M 2216 B/A epoxy is supposed to be very good.

Cheers,
Konstantin Bogach.
