Intake Manifold Ordered

So I spent about 15 days trying to find the proper intake manifold.  For someone new to Vw it is kind of tough.  I did not know to look for a certain intake manifold with a vacuum port for the brake booster.  Or the vacuum line to the carburetor.  I found a bunch that were the wrong one, because I was in Philadelphia and the part was in Ohio.  So I searched online, checked different forums and compiled a list of Air-cooled parts dealers.  I got down to about the seventh number on my list, having no luck but learning a few things about the part.  Like the vacuum ports that I needed.  I was given a phone number and told to call this guy he would probably have what I needed.  Turns out he had exactly what I needed and for a wonderful price.  I was given the number to WayOut Salvage New & Used Vw parts  www.wayoutsalvage.com   He sent me this amazing used intake manifold.  I was incredibly excited to get to Ohio and get this intake on.  But I had to wait until I lived there, which would be in about 2 weeks.  So this is what showed up.
 
Look at how gorgeous!  So pumped to get this thing in the bus.
