P-mag (or E-mag) and AFS manifold connectors
 
I have to connect manifold pressure to an AFS 3400 and P-mags. Has anyone got some good pictures (or a list) detailing the various connectors/parts they used. I cant find anything in the archives though I thought I saw something recently.

Thanks.

I put the AFS sensor on the front of the firewall and used high-temp silicone tubing (same stuff that comes with the P-mags, just larger) and polycarbonate Ts for all the connections. Very easy to install. See this post in my log:

This post shows the fitting I used in the cylinder. I epoxied in a rivet with a small hole in it to act as a restrictor in case the hose ever breaks.

I used these clips over the hose on the non-barbed fittings just to make sure they weren't coming off:

Try a Universal Hose Adapter
 
Try a Universal Hose Adapter.

The -4D worked good for me and it allowed me to install the sensor aft of the firewall, out of the weather and heat of the engine bay.
