Pipe nipple to a brass pipe 'cross', plugs in the unused holes and a hose
fitting(single lip, not barb style) for the booster hose. All off the shelf
plumbing stuff...IH practicality at it's finest ;)

Tom M. covered most of this, I thought I add you need the correct
bellhousing for the 15=B0 tilt of the engine...

Ideally, you'd want to try and spin the motor(make sure it has oil in it
;)) and get compression check going. It'd be cold, of course, but you might
find a major problem if it existed.

No doubt....how about those spanky dealership coveralls/shop coats/button
down shirts from the '60's? Way stylish, anybody have some they want to
part with?

4-6psi IIRC from the factory manual.
