vacuum tree? pcv valve? looks too big to go to the fpr

[93mustank]

Could be many things....you can hook any vacuum line to anywhere....

either pcv or brak booster t

[dr.gonzo!]

I dont think it goes to the the pcv valve because there is a plastic piece on a diffrent hose that fits in the lower intake manifold.

and I know it dosent go to the tree becuse ther is another hose that goes there.

this one has me stumped and I dont want to cap it off and start the car and find out that I have to pull this shit off again. but I have looked for hours trying to find what this hooks too.






it has a curve in it hooking upwords but theres no way it will reach the vacuum tree.

where is the brake booster?

[dr.gonzo!]

bump

[Wilkins]

the brake booster is on the driver side firewall. Its the big round thing that your brake fluid reservoir is connected to.

[Hunt_chevs]

those are the ones facing the firewall?

[Arctic Fox]

Mine didnt have anything on there, it was capped

And vacuum to brake booster goes from the vacuum tree

[Hunt_chevs]

mine has a boot there as well, but there is a hard line that connects to here

[Arctic Fox]

Gonzo is your car sd? If yes, then its probably going to MAP, and that would explain why mine was capped.

yours is not sd? because mine is not and it has that booty

[dr.gonzo!]

I think I found it. I think it goes to that black box to the left of the tree. (the one with the old yellow sticker on it.) it plugs in from under neath.


I finnaly got it to run 40 psi fuel timing is at 14deg but I have a lot of white smoke coming out of exhaust and it kinda smells sweet.. wtf is that about?

Does it go under the upper intake toward the front of the car?

That is the MAP sensor. You only need a vacuum line on that sensor if your car is a speed density car. If your car is a mass air car then absolutely do not connect a vacuum line to that sensor.

No I still am sd and thats the way I hooked it up. the car ran a little rough after bolting up the upper intake. I set the timing and it ran good for a little while next thing I know the radiator is empty and I have a shit load of smoke coming out the back and my exhaust is holding most of the antifreeze


this is the way I hooked it up please tell me if Im right. Im going on day 3 w/o my car and I need my fix lol





Also I replaced the stock fuel pressure regulator with an adjustable one so what do I do with that red vacume line? there is a screw now

By chance is coolant leaking thru the EGR spacer? Are the EGR spacer coolant lines hooked up?

The vacuum line must be hooked up to the fuel pressure regulator. Whether it is adjustable or not means nothing.

[dr.gonzo!]

I just dont see a place too hook it up at. just put in over the screw?

and I dont know if it was leaking from the egr but I did see some coming out of the throttle body. and I did have to use some pretty good force to get the throttle body off becuase of the corrosion. do you think the egr can crack and cause that?

[flyin ryan]

sweet smelling white smoke normally means a coolent leak like a head gasket etc.. might want to confirm that the coolent is coming from the egr spacer and replace the gaskets as needed.

what brand of afpr did you buy? holley? all afpr have a vacuum port on them

[fogged306]

Sounds like the EGR is leaking. Easy way to tell is to bypass the collant lines temporarily and see if you are still smoking. I wouldn't leave it like that if the EGR is still functioning though, I've never tried it personally, but I would assume it might get hot enough to damage something eventually.

[dr.gonzo!]

I did a compression test and all were 175-180 except for #4 cyl was 160.
