Vacuum lines on a '76
I just got my '76 on Sat and working on it a little. I am going to replace the vacuum lines on the car becuase I either have a big leak or some lines ran to the wrong place. (prob both)
While I am waiting on the service manual to be shipped... Does anyone have a vacuum diagram that they could email me?
While I am waiting on that. There is one vacuum line that runs from the motor to the trans. It was mentioned at the Cruisers GTG this week (Frisco\Dallas Texas) that he thought the line needed to be to the intake and it's on the QudraJet right now. What is the proper place for it?

The line your referring too I assume goes to the modulator valve on the transmission. It doesn't matter where it is hooked up as long as it has full vacuum and not ported vacuum. In other words it has vacuum present all the time instead of gradually increasing like the vacuum to the your distributor advance. Normally this line is hooked to the intake because you always hav full vacuum there.
