Where to Connect?

Post by HowardT64 »

Okay...the reason my heater AND 4wd wont work....theres no Vacuum to operate either system. Currently they are plugged into the hose that goes to the PCV valve. I need to plug the Vac cannister for both, into a source that will make them work. Can anyone give me an idea where to plug it in?

Thanks :)

Anywhere that is manifold vacuum should work. Which is to say, a port on the manifold that doesn't have a CTO on it (The CTO turns the vacuum on and off).

Like Stuka said. If you can't find an available port you can always add a 't' fitting.

If you post a picture of your intake manifold with the air cleaner off we can probably be more specific.

Good news! I found a source for vacuum...the heater works now :) I found a plugged line on the attachment where the master cylinder hooks up. Connected there and presto :). Still have to check the hoses for the tradratrac..but that's fine :)
