    It's off to school I go----

    Be prepared to hear stupid questions from the younger folks in class. Just remember, they don't have your worldly experience. I am not quite your age but I have to bite my tongue in class from time to time.

    Question What Performance to get?

    The hole that is in the knuckle where the vent/vacuum hose attachment point goes can be worked over with a 1/8" NPT tap if you are not able to get the vent in easily. Worked for me and I was able to get the piece in.
