# for those with ve 5 speeds I have a question...

I am going to put my 5 speed intake on some time this week and need to know one thing. I took the plate off the back to see how it works and there is a big butterfly that closes to make the intake like a dual plane manifold and when open it is like a single plane manifold.

With no vacuum applied the butterfly is open like a single plane manifold and when there is vacuum it closes like a dual plane. Now from my experience with v8 hot rods I would use a dual plane manifold if I bult a street rod for low end power and if I built a race car that I wanted top end power out of I would use a single plane.

So finally the question do I set up this the same way and have vacuum applied (duel plane) for low rpm (up to 3500) and then have it open for high rpm?

for those with the 5 speed how does yours work? does the lever pull when the engine is started and then open when the rpm is reached or am I thinking of it backwards?

Thanks to Jeff I know everything I need and how to hook it up but need to know how to have the vacuum applied.

Thanks in advance,
Michael Hudnell
