Carburator Question?
I'm in need of some help. My father and law and I did a complete rebuild on my motor a few weeks ago, and are now to the point where the engine is back in. The only problem we are having is hooking up the carburator with all its vacum hoses. When we pulled of the carburator we failed to make notes or a diagram of what hose goes where. So now the problem we are having is that we cannot figure out where the hoses go on the carb or where they need to come from. Does anyone know of a place where I can find a picture or diagram of a 350 engine with a carb attached? Or does anyone know from where the hoses come from and to where in the carb they go attached to.
I also bought a chrome dress-up kit for the engine, and one of the valve covers comes with a breather cap. my old cover had a hose coming out, which I am thinking it went to the carb is that correct. If it is, does anyone know if I have to cap off that inlet to the carb? I know that this is a lot of reading (sorry) but I am in need of any help thanks. |

Re: Carburator Question?
Dont know what carb you are running.. but here is a link to the edelbrock site : http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...ers_manual.pdf
The hose coming out of the old valve cover was probably the PCV valve and it goes to the carb as well...

Re: Carburator Question?
I actually have a quadrajet carburator on my truck. thanks for the link it is very helpfull.
Since the new valve covers that I bought do not have a hole for the PVC what do I do with the inlet to the carburator? Do I just tap it off? |

Re: Carburator Question?
you may want to check into mounting the PCV valve in the Manifold. I have not done it personally but have seen them mounted on the manifold a few times.
