Posted August 20, 201212 yr comment_399213 I'm shaving off all of the pollution control stalks, plugs and the rest of it that covers the balance tube to give it a cleaner look.I would like to relocate the brake booster vaccum hose into the end of the balance tube closest to the firewall (at the moment it's connected to the top of the balance tube) Just wondering if changing the location of that vaccum port could affect the brake booster function in anyway?Thanks.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44148-balance-tube/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 20, 201212 yr comment_399218 Can't see this as any issue at all. Relocate away. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44148-balance-tube/#findComment-399218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 20, 201212 yr comment_399236 The early Z's had it set up that way, coming out of the side instead of the top. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44148-balance-tube/#findComment-399236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 31, 201212 yr comment_400282 Alright Leon I'll bite, what's pascal's law? Taken from: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pascal-laws-d_1274.html The static pressure in a fluid acts equally in all directions In other words, the pressure within an enclosed volume (e.g. the balance tube) is equal at all points within that volume. This means that pressure remains the same no matter where on the tube you put that hose barb.
