carburetor vacuum solenoid

[rddaves54]

I am trying to get all the vacuum hoses replaced and was wondering where these lines go from this solenod on the right side of the carburetor. I believe one side goes to this line on the carburetor but I am not sure and I do not know where the other line goes from solenoid. I have attached a picture.

Does anyone sell a vacumm hose kit that has all the vacuum hoses for the 350 engine to buy so I could replace all of them?

Picture #1. The hoses that were going to that valve when it worked came from ported vacuum to the solenoid then to the distributor. There are some wires that come up from the trans that operate that solenoid. Its to keep the advance from working untill your in 3rd gear. Eearly emmisions that did work well.

Picture #2. The pipe goes up to the air cleaner and operates the heat door in the air cleaner inlet.

I don't know of a hose kit for them. You can get the hose in long lengths and cut to fit at the local parts store

I discovered by reading the manual today that the vacuum lines go to the evaporative emissions canister behind the battery. I found one hose that went from the canister to the gas tank line was broken all the way through. I replaced it and I believe I have the lines correct now.

I was wondering how I could discover if the evaporative emissions canister needs to be cleaned, or a filter in it changed?? Or the whole thing replaced?

I think I saw something about the canister in a '72 service manual. It seems like it said to clean the filter. I will have to look when I go out.... If I can drag my butt away from this board...AARRGG!..
