I put a solenoid right before my distribution block. I had mixed luck with a check valve so when I moved from a single nozzle to direct port, I figured the solenoid would be safer.
That was my plan as well, did you have any issues using a vacuum distribution block as opposed to one actually meant for meth? I bought one as well since the ports are all basically the same anyways as is the material, just cheaper than the Prometh ones and with a 3/8 NPT inlet and outlet.

The casting of the head blocks this since it sits on an angle and not perpendicular to the head so you can’t drill it to put them on top. I kinda like the idea of it being on the bottom anyways to give it a cleaner look and hide the nozzles but it will be a royal pain if I ever need to pull/check anything.

The distro block was one of the things that seemed really hard to find, and really overpriced when I was building this. The Vibrant vacuum distribution block has worked out really well. No leaks, plenty of ports, it just works.

Glad to hear it’s working fine, the other distribution blocks were indeed overpriced that I found and I’m really trying to keep this build as “budget” friendly as I can.
