Title: 82 k longbed
Post by: woody100881 on June 18, 2013, 08:45:10 pm

I just bought an 82 k longbed and the hose coming from the vacuum reservoir is cut. I am trying to replace it but do not know where it is supposed to go to. Please help :'(

Which hose is cut?  Post a picture is easiest.

The vacuum reservoir hose should route to a full vacuum source (i.e., a non-ported vacuum source like on many carbs) on either the carburetor or the intake manifold.  A full vacuum source from either the carb or manifold may have a rubber vacuum cap on it that you can remove and hook up the hose. Alternatively, you may have to install a fitting on the intake to hook up the hose.
