Alright I know it has been a long time since I have posted on here, mainly because the vic is gone. However I still have the motor and I am working on putting it in another car and have a few questions on things that I can not remember to save my ass. Sorry this is going to be so long but I really need help asap because this car has been down for to long and I am so close to gettting it done. Thanks.... BTW, the engine is BONE STOCK from oil pan to carb (varible ventura) minus the smog (air pump and EGR) and ac.
-First, for my oil pressure gauge can I use the port that is on the driver side of the block towards the back that just has a pipe plug in it or what is that for?
-Couple coolant line ?'s. I have a spot on the thermostat housing for a coolant line, where does that line go? On the intake there is a part sticking up that has a couple pieces branching off. One is threaded and the other one a line will slip over, where does that line go? It had a sensor screwed into the top of it.
-I have a vac diagram but cant make heads of tails of it. Everything looks like it goes to a "vacuum control valve" wft? Can someone just say "line from dist. goes to ........" and so on and so forth. I have vac connections on the dizzy, a "tree" coming off the rear of the intake (one I belive is the main vac, with two others coming off it), two ports coming off the intake below the carb, and a port threaded into the intake towards the front of the intake, off center to the driver side of the dizzy. Along with the vac connections on the carb.
-Since I dont have a.c. and what not can I run the main vac off the intake directly to the brake boost or does the tree on the firewall also regulate it some how? Currently the only ports on that tree being used is the engine vac, ac (deleted) and brake boost.
-Finally,with the fuel pump I have three line connections. I am assuming two on the pump are for from the tank and return to the tank and the other is to the carb. Correct? If so which is which? One is threaded and other two are where tubing can slip over.
Sorry for all the dumb questions but I cant seem to find the answers anywhere. Thanks for any and all help. I gotta get this back on the road asap.
