There is a big difference. The bus manifold is supposed to have a larger 1/2" tube coming off of it just under the carb. On bug manifolds there is a very small tube there, and you can use it, but stopping power is not as good. I had a hard time finding a manifold with the big tube on it. There's no other way to tie into the vacuum system. Gooday Chris '71 Camper
