Performer Intake ports - what goes where?
Good evening!
Would someone help me with the circled/lettered ports and what goes in each? I do know which port is for the temp sender!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

X2. And that's not a Performer, it's a Procomp or similar air-gap. Unless your build is significantly modified it's not the right intake for it. The actual Performer would've been better. Just sayin.

Temp sensors can only go in the coolant crossover passage at the front of the trans. Looks like you have three ports in that passage. Pick one. The temp sensor doesn't care which of them you use.
All three vacuum ports you circled are manifold vacuum. They all have the same signal. Use the ones you need and plug the others.

Awesome info, Joe. Thank you very much!
Why do these intakes have so many vacuum ports? Boost or NOS?

The intakes are designed to fit multiple applications over a variety of years. The manufacturer is simply providing you the flexibility to connect however many vacuum connections that are needed for your particular application. Just screw pipe plugs into the ones you don't need.

Thanks again! Would you happen to know what the fitting in C is for?

It's just a vacuum port. It isn't "for" anything specific. In that location, you could use it for the modulator line to an automatic. You could also use it for the vacuum advance if you choose to run straight manifold vacuum for the advance instead of ported. If the car has A/C, you could use it to feed the vacuum reservoir for the HVAC system. You really should not get hung up on the specific locations. Any port that goes directly into an intake runner provides manifold vacuum and is functionally exactly the same as any other port that goes directly into a runner. Don't lose a lot of sleep over this.
