Depending on the intake mani you use, you'll either have to drill and tap your own holes into the intake and put fitting in there. Another option is to premix 2 stroke oil into your gas tank.

the RB holley uses an NPT nipple threaded into the site plug on the primary float bowl. i used an "F" shaped vac "T" fitting down at the OMP, turned upside down, to make the two lines into one, then up to the carb.

also, drilling into the intake runner wouldn't be a good idea. u would create a vacuum, like the brake booster fitting, at the OMP. no reason to drill into the intake unless ur adding injectors or NOS.
