Vaccuum line question Hello, I'm currently restaurating a 1988 Camaro V6 + T5-transmission. Between the engine and the firewall, there's a 3-way-piece on the vaccuum line. One end is closed with a screw. I can't believe this is stock. What is supposed to be there ? Thanks. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...o/DSC02688.jpg |
Re: Vaccuum line question If it's the middle section of the 3-way vacuum valve, then it goes to the charcoal box in the front driver's side of the car under the hood. (It is for emission purposes.) That's why it is plugged. |
Re: Vaccuum line question It is the middle section of the 3-way-valve, but at the carcoal box there are hoses on all possible places. |
Re: Vaccuum line question 2 Attachment(s) That's actually not the charcoal canister. One end goes to the intake, the opposite goes to the charcoal, and the perpendicular line goes inside the wiring harness. It's to the HVAC control, I believe. I've attached pictures. |
Re: Vaccuum line question perfect timing! i was wondering what that one does!!! alright how about the black cylinder bolted on with the alternator? |
Re: Vaccuum line question Picture? Bolted between the alternator and water pump? Fancy valve breather, I believe. If so, in theory, you could gut a large portion of the vacuum line system and replace it with a simple open-air valve breather directly in the valve cover. |
Re: Vaccuum line question i'll post a picture as soon as someone tells me how the **** you post pictures!!! lol, seriously though, i have no idea how to post pictures. i'll take the picture though. |

Re: Vaccuum line question 1 Attachment(s) thanks, i think i figured out how to attach photos now. |
Re: Vaccuum line question I have an open breather on that side also though its a filter. Are you running a PCV valve in that? |

I'm fairly certain that's the valve breather. I've got one on mine. Some years don't have it, some do. I'd love to get rid of the entire bit, but as you can tell, the bar the breather sits on holds the alternator in place. You could rip that whole mess out, put in a standard open breather, and with some analyzing of the vacuum lines, cut it down tremendously. so any comments on the engine paint? |

Re: Vaccuum line question yea, i was in kind of a hurry to get the engine in so i just painted it as is. i hate GM corporate colors too. I dont really care about bolts getting painted or anything i just wanted it done quick and i thought paint it now was better than no paint at all. |
