72 4bbl cleaner Q - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Fast68Chevy* · 05-12-2002, 11:56 AM

ok who knows for sure if by 72 model year if air cleaner assembly vacuum motors were used on these or not ? also with the air temperature vacuum line sensor switch deal inside the breather assembly, and were these breather snorkels supposed to point at 3 or 4 o clock or so position ?

just checking, thanks

My 72 points to 4 o'clock,and it has tabs that make it point that way. What do you mean by vacuum motors? Mine has a vacuum valve that makes it get heated air off the exhaust when the motor is cold.

Will this help any?

*Fast68Chevy* · 05-12-2002, 12:35 PM

i think that one is 2bbl, the first url pic soesnt work at all, thats pointing at 7 or 8 o clock, so hmm....

vacuum motor is that thing on the snorkel with vacuum line going to it from the temp sensor switch thats mounted inside the bottom of the base of the cleaner.

i shoulda realized that these trucks did have stovepipes on them originally, so they owuld have to have vacuum motors then, theres hno other way, just didnt realize they did that so early on.

thanks guys
