Vacuum break hose..

I'm having trouble finding where I have to hookup the vacuum line for the vacuum break (2.8L 2b carb). The one Im talking about is the secondary. I for the life of me cant seem to find the proper location either on the carb or intake to hook this up. Also I cant find where to hookup the Air Temp Senser vacuum line on the air cleaner. There is somesort of vacuum, solenoid controlled unit that is in just in the right spot to hookup (lenth wise) the Air temp Senser too.. is this where I hook this up too?

Thanks for your time guys.. Tim.

Tim,

By "vacuum break", do you mean the choke pull-off?

Yes.. pulloff. The only carb diagram I have labeled it a vacuum break (secondary.)

Tim,

Is the vacuum diaphragm on the left or right side of the engine?

If on the right side (I'm guessing it is) the adjustment is made by bending the linkage rods, and the vacuum source is on the front center of the carb throttle body. This might be identified as the 'D' port, or you can use any source of full manifold vacuum.

If the source is on the left side, the adjustment is via a 1/8" Allen screw within the diaphragm assembly (accessed through the vacuum fitting hole), but the vacuum source is still the 'D' port or full manifold vacuum.
