TCS Solenoid Removal
I’m in need of some help/direction with my ‘72 Custom 10! I have done TONS of reading about the TCS and I understand it’s not necessary to have a normal running engine. My question is.. what do I do with the hose running to my carb?? The remaining hoses were gone when I got the vehicle and I’m not even sure if I need to look for/cap off any other connections.
I’m a nurse, not a mechanic but I grew up around vehicles and have a basic knowledge of things. A little guidance would be so helpful! Thanks in advance. I’ve attached 2 photos for reference. |

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
Remove it and cap it off.

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
Besides the one connection at the carb.. is there somewhere else I should be looking for a port that also needs to be capped? I just see the second nipple on the TCS that was missing a hose, so I assume there’s a second connection point.

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
The other is for clean air at the carburetor. Reference page 6T-2 of this manual, which was graciously uploaded by a member. You can download it for free!

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
AS others have responded, just remove it and cap the vacuum source....
I am attaching a pic of the full hose routing as a matter of interest...trust me, you are better off removing it and just capping the vac line at the carb....

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
I wouldn't throw it out, just put it on the shelf, someone may need it for a complete restoration. first thing I did when I bought my truck was to throw out the bucket seats, as I thought they were useless. check out what the prices are for junk bucket seats, just never know

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
There's the part in the pic you already know about, there's also a relay on the driver's side firewall (some are in engine bay, others under dash above fuse block by horn relay), a switch in the trans, a temp switch on the passenger side head, and extra wiring by the fuse block. If you use the search, there are several useful threads you should read.
Aussie, you may start a war posting a pic that shows the vacuum advance connected to manifold vacuum

Re: TCS Solenoid Removal
If you ever decide to go with a HEI distributor the pink 10 gauge wire is a ready made 12 volt power source...
