Re: Senior Project Build
OK cool, so I need to get a fitting that hooks into the back of the intake? Does this part have a specific name, and is there already a hole there for it?

Re: Senior Project Build
I would look something like this
There are different configurations, number of ports, etc. but if you look on your intake manifold, between the carb and distributor, you should see a port that either has a tee fitting already (if you have PB) or a plug, which you remove and replace with the tee fitting. Most auto stores should have them or online. May be called manifold vacuum fitting or power brake fitting. Good luck and your truck is looking really nice.

Re: Senior Project Build
Cool! Thank you all for the compliments and advice/help. Now where do I hook the vacuum advance to?

Re: Senior Project Build
Lucky-
There are many ways to hook this stuff up, I followed the viedo that came with the edlebrock carb that i bought. It looks like we have the same one, so there are three ports on the front of your carb. The big one in the middle goes to the Pcv valve, or breather in your valve cover. The one on the passenger side goes to the dist. and the one on the driver side goes to the trans. like i said the are many ways to go about it but this is the way i hooked it up. lytemup- |

Re: Senior Project Build
Hmmm I just remembered that I didn't use the new carb, I put the old one back on. It only has the one big port in the middle and one tiny one on the passenger side.
I tried hooking the trans. vac. line to it, but it was too big. Tested it out of curiosity and the tranny still won't shift. Would this be the right place to plug in the vacuum line? I was wondering about the big open hole in the back of the carb, what goes there? And theres a threaded port in the back of the intake, directly under the dizzy cap. What goes there? And Im also wondering about the vac. advance. Besides where to hook it up, I don't know if this is set up right. The timing is set pretty good, but the distributor seems to be spun way too far to the side. Its running into the coil. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks for your help Last edited by LuckyHenriksen; 09-20-2008 at 01:21 AM. |

Re: Senior Project Build
I'm sure someone w/more experience will chime in, but this is how I have mine:
I've got my PCV valve hooked up to the large front port on the carb. The small one in the front is for vacuum advance. I'm using a port on the back of the intake manifold for the transmission vacuum. The big hole on the back of the carb is another vacuum port. It should be plugged if you aren't using it, but I have my brake power booster hooked to it. I'm assuming the rear port could also be used for your trans. vacuum line if you aren't using power brakes.

Re: Senior Project Build
lucky
You have a tubing and screw in the port that goes to the trans it has something to do with the heights. the passenger port is higher than the one one on the driver side. The vac advance goes to the passenger side. really you can take vaccume from anyone of the many places they give us. I've plugged the port in the back of my carb, and taken vaccume for my brakes off the intake in the back. |

Re: Senior Project Build
None of them fit. Is there another place that I could go to find a better selection?

Re: Senior Project Build
I got all of mine from Napa, but I know that Checker Auto has them here. I don't know if you have Checker, but Advance, Kragen, CSK, and Schuck's are all the same. The local Car Quest usually has em too.

Re: Senior Project Build
No I've been gone all week, Just got home from a school camp out at the beach. This weekend will be time to find a bigger NAPA and get the right fittings.
I saw this nice truck on my camp out and just wondered if it was a members. We were sitting around the fire late one night, and someone had the bright idea to throw a pot of beans at a raccoon. He hit me in the face on the back swing. There was blood and baked beans everywhere. |

Re: Senior Project Build
Took the first real drive since I took it apart over a year ago! It felt and drove great. Couple questions though.....
I am wondering about my brake lines. They run inside the frame rails, which is right next to the headers. Over extended driving time, will the heat coming off the headers damage the brake fluid? Any dangers of losing brake pressure after driving for a while? |

Re: Senior Project Build
Check my build thread. I think I put that part somewhere in there. If not, I'll look up the info and pics for ya.
Edit- I don't think the ones I have will work w/the tank behind the seat. At least I couldn't figure it out. I went w/an under bed tank, so it didn't matter.

Re: Senior Project Build
Any body have any ideas on brake fluid heating problems?
Oh and thank you so much for your advice, the vacuum line was a somewhat simple hookup and now the trans shifts fine. Heres an idea I have, the paint on my truck isnt spectacular, and I don't really like the color so I want to add a custom door logo to spice t up a bit. I had a friend of mine help me make it in photo shop, and bw4sale helped me 'shop it on my door in the photoshop forum. What do you guys think? Any ideas? I want to change the background color of the cross to white, it might show up better on my red truck. Input is appreciated. Heres the logo Heres what it looks like roughly on the truck |

I wouldn't worry about the brake line/fluid near the headers if you've got the kind of clearance there appears to be by the picture. If you're running less than .5", you may end up with a problem. I am making new lines because on the passenger side, where the line for the rear brakes goes inside the frame, my headers actually touch the headers, and I haven't had any problems yet. I'll hopefully be fixing it this coming week. If you're worried about it, get some header wrap, and wrap that one section. Nice truck, man!
