First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Alright, here's my first conundrum. -
Anyone have any idea why (and I'm no expert at all, learning about vacuum as I go) someone would connect a vacuum line from the vacuum port on the front of the carb (original 1968 Rochester 4-bbl) straight to the advance port on the distributor? - looking from the hood the carb port I am referring to is on the lower driver side front of the carb. The rest of my current vacuum mess is as follows: - All the TVS ports are capped (I know 4 and 5 should be from service bulletin 68-T-2) - Port on front of carb (upper passenger side) has hard line going down to trans. - Port on side of carb (passenger side) is capped (OK per service bulletin 68-T-2) - I had a problem where all four barrels weren't opening and discovered that there was an open vacuum port on the back of the carb that was open - it is now capped and all 4 barrells open but I don't know where it should go. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as i try to sort this out. I've been reading here (http://firstgenfirebird.org/FAQ/engine/carburetor.html) but am still unsure where the port on the back of the carb should be connected and why someone made the connection they did to the distributor adcance port. -Danny -- 1968 Firebird 400 Conv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/>
