I've been thru all the vacuum diagrams that have been posted and I can't find the answer I'm looking for. Hard to find one for a California emission car with Ram Air. From the factory, where did the Ram Air get its vacuum source? I have verified on an earlier post that I have the correct...

Thanks Rackerm and Stanglover, Kaching goes the wallet! I did a very recent post about heater hoses.  I didn't realize until recent that there are "correct" yellow stripe hoses. Now I see there are colored hose kits for these vacuum lines.  Doh! I bought the hose kit for my Ram Air hood. Now...

I'm looking for the correct sizes of most of the vacuum hoses under hood, ? The search option on this website got me nowhere, I was surprised! I found all the vacuum schematics, but they don't indicate the hose sizes. A result from Vintage Mustang Forums said carb. to dist. is 5/ 32". I...

Guys, Thanks for the input. Hemikiller, I wondered about the S.  As you can see when I got the car, (before, and current photos) the previous owner moved the valve to the side, I didn't know about the S hose. Notice the schematics really don't highlight an "L" hose.  They have the same part...

My car is 351C 72 with air. When I got the car all the heater hoses were straight hose like on my early mustangs. Now I find out there is an "S" hose on the inboard heater core fitting and the water shut off valve goes on this hose. Then I find out there is an "L" hose to connect to the water...

Thanks everyone for helping me confirm what I feared.  The distributor needs to come out.  Here is a current pic of my project.  I have received tons of great help and advice from all the members the last couple years. I hate to go backwards a bit, but it must be done. (The interior was done...

The wires definitely appear to be cut to match the position of #1 in the diagram I posted. I was hoping someone with a 351C could verify that their #1 position on their distributor cap is pretty much like the diagram.? That would explain that whoever installed the Mallory Unilte distributor on...

Yes, I had the distributor out.  I documented that the rotor was pointing exactly straight back pointing at the firewall. The motor was never turned over while it was out.  I reinserted the distributor in exactly the same position. The cap has no #1 indication on it.  The vacuum advance...

The 72 Mach I am restoring came with a Mallory Unilite distributor installed. The car seemed to run fine.  Started right up.   Then I tore it apart to restore/clean up. I took lots of pictures.  The picture shows the spark plug wires on the car as I got it 3 years ago. (it doesn't look like...

Explored this part of the car project last year, now it's time to do it. 72 Mach 1 needs nice new (not leaky) fresh power steering pump for my under hood clean up project. Found out you can't go down to the local O'reillys like I used to (Kragen, Grand Auto) and grab a rebuild complete with...

My car has A/C, Auto, Ram Air, actually lots of options. (fold down seat, tilt wheel, am/fm, sports intertior, HD battery, ect) back to the point... The photo shows the Jegs vacuum canister in my car.  The vacuum fitting on the manifold has one 3/8 port.  My PB booster and Vacuum can both...

Thanks for that info. Nice to know it is the correct piece. My car does not have the plastic vacuum distribution piece yours has. I can see the large port goes to the booster. One small port to tranny. The other smaller hose looks like it is going to a hardline right next to your tranny...

Previous owner of my car added an Edelbrock 4V manifold.  The vacuum fitting on the manifold I'm guessing is not stock.  See picture. The power brake booster and the vacuum canister (mine is an after market can) both need a 3/8 hose from manifold vacuum.   I'm wondering, from the factory, how...

Well I decided to go for it... that is, stretching the seal around the air cleaner. It was tight.  It seemed a few inches short of stretching around, but by massaging it around to where it wouldn't stretch too, I got it on. I put the seam of the seal on the air cleaner first and got over half...

Wow, this is hilarious... I feel slightly vindicated I started this thread, convinced there was an issue with the seal I purchased,  We still have conflicting posts on weather there is an issue with the seal... Do I need to return this 2nd seal I have purchased, this time from Summit, until...

My new seal came from Summit. Yes, it the label seems to be a Scott Drake sticker on top of DC's  made in USA sticker. No, neither included any info about turning it inside out. My question:  If it is 1 piece glued together, why not package it in the correct direction? Then it wouldn't look...

well that would be a bummer... I had assumed that Scott Drake made their own products... I was going to call Ohio Mustang, Don, is that you? Are you a dealer that talk to the manufacturer? NPD told me I'd have to go through purchasing in Florida to try to start to unravel this mystery...

I just purchased a seal made by Scott Drake from Summit. I'll keep the site informed on how the seal works out... Andy

So it looks like your seals also have the seam on the inside... The mystery of the Daniel Carpenter seal problem lives on...

Please keep me updated Tony.  Seems you are going to have the same problem I had when I got mine. I can't believe something seemingly so simple is turning into confusion.
