What & Where does it go,

I am assuming its part of the A/C or Cruise control ???

gchemist · 08-26-2003, 02:54 AM

It's not part of the cruise control unless GM changed the wiring in the newer trucks. My 83 cruise should go back to the late 70's. I'm not sure on the A/C. The compressor should have a different connection unless the older compressors used a different type. Where does the wire lead from? Is it live? How many volts going through it? Looks more like a washer bottle connection.

I dont have a wire on my washer bottle, at least that I know of ?

gldevall · 08-26-2003, 08:22 AM

It looks like it may have gone into the stock carburator.

Nvbowtie · 08-26-2003, 09:38 PM

then whats the thing with the small vacuum port (large arrow is pointing at) it appears to be split from that same green wire ??

phantom dually · 08-26-2003, 09:40 PM

The thing you are pointing to is a MAP sensor. Pull it out a chuck it!!!

Nvbowtie · 08-26-2003, 09:44 PM

Oh Yeah !!

I like doing that !!, I was gonna say what ever it is, I didn't need it to run the other day !!

Where does the map sensor end up going to ? Cab/firewall ?

>>>>>>>>>>>> Edit:

I don't see any listing for a MAP sensor for my year model truck ?????????

phantom dually · 08-26-2003, 10:51 PM

My 83 had a computer of some sort in the pass floor panel or maybe in the dash. I took it all out. Trace it down and cut it out. You wont need it with a carb that you are runnning.

phantom dually · 08-26-2003, 10:53 PM

Btw the way the nipple left over had a hose on it that went to the carb to sense WOT. MAP stands for M______ A- absolute P-pressue. Forgot what M is sorry!!!

**swervin ervin** · 08-26-2003, 11:29 PM

The thing the yellow arrow is pointing to is not a MAP sensor. It's the low vac switch for converter lockup.

Nvbowtie · 08-27-2003, 03:23 AM

Swervin -

Mike

I have a vac line running from the manifold to the tranny modulator/

Is this low vac switch for converter lockup -

- a seperate source that is needed also ?

**swervin ervin** · 08-27-2003, 06:35 AM

If your tranny is a TH350C, yes, it's needed in order for the converter to lockup. If it's just the plain TH350, then no, it's not needed.
