- 1973 Convertible, matching #'s H Code, Auto
Hello,
Still trying to get this squared away .... hope this info helps.
I have a 73 Convertible with a 351 C 2V C6 auto, no A/C,... PS/PB. Regular air cleaner no ram air. I need an accurate diagram to show how the vacumn hoses are supposed to run from the firewall forward to the carb, egr, dist.(single diaphram), trans etc. My engine is very basic no spark delay valves, etc. I have searched probably hundreds of diagrams and have not been able to find the correct diagram that matches my car.
I want to make sure that the lines are now correct I know for a fact that the trans vacumn hoses were incorrect and the vacumn line going to the bi metal switch in the air cleaner was wrong. Just want to validate that all the other hoses are correct.
At present here are how the vacumn lines run :
Facing the firewall there are four vacumn connections that come out of the firewall ...
Left to right - 1,2,3,4
#1 goes to a tee connector, one side of the T goes to the EGR valve and the other side goes to coolant sensor switch at the front of the motor near the water pump ... connects to the top nipple of three.
2 and 3 go to the trans
#4 goes to a multi vacumn line connector at the back of the intake manifold that supplies vacumn. Two of the nipples on this multi connector are plugged. One goes to the brake booster. one to the bi metal switch in the air cleaner that opens the damper at the end of the snorkel.
CARB
Facing the car from the front, one line comes out of the left side base and goes into the middle nipple of the sensor switch at the water pump.
On the right side of the carb at the base a vacumn line goes to the distributor.
Of interest there is a vacumn nipple on the intake manifold forward of the carb that is plugged but does produce vacumn at idle. Also, the bottom nipple on the sensor at the water pump is plugged.
The car runs well ... just want to make sure they are run correctly.
Appreciate any help !
