We all know that Vinnie swaps intakes more often than some folks here change their underwear.....so.....he'll likely know this!
Here's my question! ;)
I'm getting ready to bolt my Explorer upper onto the motor. The rest of the motor is in place and wiring is set. All I have to figure out are the vaccum lines. The routing on the underside of the Explorer intake is much different than the stock T'bird. Do I just match up the lines sizes and stick them on where ever they fit? Or how does this need handled?
Thanks.
I cut the very front vacuum line off even with the front of the intake (You know, the vacuum line that angles up?). That is where the vacuum from the charcoal cannister goes. On the back, install the vacuum tree from the stock intake, cap one of the small lines. The other is where my FPR line goes, and the big one on the tree is for the PCV.
On the bottom of the "tank" part of the intake, at the front, there's a vacuum elbow. You can cap it, or, as I did, pulled it out (it's just pressed in) by grabbing it with some vice grips and twisting the vacuum tube back and forth, then, I tapped it and installed a brass plug. The big tube on the bottom, by the vacuum tree (already on the Explorer intake) is for the brakes.
Thanks, bud.
Oh....the FPR line. What is that? I'm an EFI noob.....like to deal with carbs and very LITTLE wiring.
If you need any help,I'll be home later this evening., but I think that about covers it. I'm going to start polishing the upper I have (Explorer) for future use after it also goes through a couple of visual mods. Can't help myself. Good luck.
