I just realized that the HIF 6 in this application seems to have a vacuum port that is plugged off. If it leads to where I think it does, it gets the vacuum from between the butterfly and the piston,

Let's hear it for the empirical method. I took a (diagnostic) vacuum guage and connected it to the port on the side of the SU. I suspect maybe that it is for the crankcase breather. Anyways what the
