I don't have the money right now for a service manual for 1979 C10 Chevy 454 right now and i'm not even too sure if as much as i know about cars if i would know how to read a manual lol. you can see 2 white things and a bolt all blocking holes of the hoses.What is missing in this spot? I thinking maybe a 2nd vapor charcoal canister but wasn't too sure. did some trucks have two of them? I already have one as you can see from the pictures.

I'm thinking its missing the cruise control transducer.

yup looks like the cruise is pulled,some do when it breaks and the speedo quits

[k7cdl]

hard to say two or three.....wires get cut but you might be able to tell

thank you. might wait until we get nicer weather as we getting snow storm right now and go look more into it. might have to wait until a shop can look at if i can't see anything

If memory serves me correctly, the type with 2 wires had regular cruise and the ones with 3 had cruise with resume.

ok mine is just a push in button on the blinker switch with no resume thanks. i'm going to go thou this summer and replace all my vacuum hoses so i might just add this to my list of needing to do

Somewhat off topic but one of the common issues these trucks have is a bent hood. Your hood hinges don't appear to have much if any oil on them. Do yourself a favor and put a drop or three on anything that looks like it is a pivot point and there are several pivot points on each side.

ok thanks. I have lots of work to do this summer. just got this truck about a year ago and now i just got it paid off this last month going to start fixing it up. it needs new windshield, power locks and windows replaced. new carb. new tires. and the vacuum system and cruise system fixed

found out how to tell the different in the two thermals and the 3 i will check when i get better weather. i love the new auto zone we got in they answered a lot of questions i had yesterday. hope i have the 3 system and not the 2 because the 2 system is no longer made
