Yes the vacuum port for assisted clutch was a large threaded hole found at the front of manifold.


The vacuum unit was mounted on Drivers side (other side of engine) on early B blocks of LHD cars on a pad with two drilled and threaded holes in the block.

The project never made it to production and was dropped in early 1932.
