TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
The 2 lines on the side, that come from outside the picture, go to one of those thermal vacuum switches that look like it is in the path of the coolant. Here is the vacuum diagram from my radiator bracket. Also Im pretty sure the advance source is ported vacuum, I've seen a lot of debate here on that subject also. Does anyone think it would be a good test to run directly from carb vac source (either ported or manifold) to the vac advance without this check valve? I am just wondering about the integrity of a 30 year old device like that, and I don't know how to test it. Most of the other bits (EGR, EFE, Vac Canister, etc.) have been plugged, gummed up, or stuck when I have looked into them.Thanks for the help!
Going by your diagram you have ported from the front of the carb and full manifold from the rear of the carb going to that subject valve with the red ring. Appears to be a dual function piece. To be sure if you have full manifold to the vac advance pull the hose off the dist at idle and see if it has vac at idle.If not its ported vac if so its full manifold vac, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
