uh oh - I'm trying to figure out what vacuum tubes go where and my reality does not match the schematic, and worse, it appears that someone may have gotten creative.
In the pix below - I don't know what the 'Y' is, and it appears that in the second pic there has been some rubber goop poured around the fitting. From the Y - one hose goes immediately to the fitting nearby - the other travels around the engine bay - thru the thing in pic3, and back to the 'customized' fitting with the rubber goop on it. have a look a the pix and see if you can tell what is going on here....please. thanks all td Attached image(s) |

Thanks Tom - that is what I'm seeing as well - I have the Pelican diagrams and I've got more hoses than they show!
Question - how can I tell if I have a bad decal valve? how can i tell if I have a bad MPS? I unplugged it while the car was running and heard a vacuum release and the car sputtered pretty well - then cleared when I gave it some revs after reattaching the hose. the issue I have is a missing and sputtering at low throttle - so when cruising down the fwy, ti will miss every so often (buck?) and then be ok. I suspect the TPS. As I start out in 1st, sometimes I am only hitting a couple of cylinders, then it clears and is ok. the exhaust smells too rich when it is in sputter mode - so we are not firing on all cylinders - but what would be the intermittent cause of this? Plugs look fine, timing 'seems' ok. I have not played with the points or condenser yet. Valves have just been done. are trigger points an intermittent symptom? all the hoses I have seem to have a home - and are now tight and hose clamped - so I don't think it is an air leak any longer...something else??? it appears that the hose configuration is a creative attempt by someone to 'augment' the factory layout - I'm worried that I don't know what I don't know at this point since I've never seen the 'right' layout! any help appreciated - a bit on the frustrating side at this point..... thx td |
