hello all ive been ghosting on here for a while and ive been trying to learn why i want a ca so much and i finily took the leap of faith. well im about to swap my ca into my 240 and i want to ask some stuff seeing as ive seen very few people from alabama with them. but here the questions what wires match up to with going form the ca maf wires to a ka maf. also is the best way to run my vacums as pictued in the pic at the bottom. http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/...s.JPG

i see the fpr and butterflyies are on the same vacum and is that the best? do you think i should run a vac line from my hot pipe not the intake mani? just help as you can guy and im loving the look of the motor i just have a lot of stuff to get right. also any one from alabama that chould come down to hoover this friday or saturday i can give you a place to stay, i really need a hand. also ill be going to the al-drift meet so it will be fun lol. to add to that i need a ca hot pipe if i cant get the one from my freind by this weekend wtb.

That won't work, all the vaccum is created inside the plenum when the throttle body is shut. All your vaccum sources are after the throttle body. So run the line from your intake manifold.
