Guilty-by-Design · 03-22-2015, 03:34 PM

looking for #5, only place i can find one is LMC. i have had no luck looking on oreillys autozone napa or amazon. i need it for my 82 c10 with a 305.

i have been searching booster line, booster hard line, booster vacuum line... dose it have another name? any help would be appreciated.

Well if you can not find one pre-made, the line is standard 3/8th inch steel line. Get a universal replacement at a parts store and bend to fit then just cut off the 2nd threaded end and surplus for a slip fit to the hose. Another alternative is poke around a wrecking yard. That is not a high demand part out there. So there should be lots of them. Also look on cars with a similar engine package.

x2. I made my own from steel tube purchased @ oreillys. The benefit to me was I re-routed it to clean-up the look when I made it & used vacuum line to go back to the intake.

Exactly this. Unless you are trying to restore to as close to factory as possible just get a 3/8 NPT nipple and use a rubber vac line.

I guess you went to the wrong parts store. I tend to forget many use those Pepboy's, OReilly's, Autozone's, and others of that caliber. I only use old school full service parts Stores like Napa. Here is a photo of a generic replacement steel line I was refering to. They are sold in common sizes from 3/16 to 1/2 inch and from 12 to 60 inches long.

anytime, I'm not sure if the check valve is for. Ran mine with and with out one.

SCOTI · 03-23-2015, 01:16 AM

Check valve should help hold vacuum to the diaphragm.

KQQL IT · 03-23-2015, 01:31 AM

The catalog calls it a filter? I broke mine last time the engine was out. Didn't notice much difference...

The filter is to keep gasoline and oil vapors out of the booster during a backfire. The booster diaphragm does not like those chemicals much.

Check valve is to hold vacuum in the booster. If you drive your truck around then pull out the check valve you'll hear a loud pop or hiss sound as the air escapes.

If you hear neither of these when you pull out the check valve you either have a bad check valve or a bad booster.

Guilty-by-Design · 03-23-2015, 01:48 PM

thank you all for the help. i just got back from napa (they were closed yesterday) with a barb and vac line so everything is working well. i kept the filter and check valve but i pulled the valve from the booster to see if it was holding vacuum and was caught a little off guard by how much vacuum it still had... thank you all again
