vacuum line question
Does any one know where I can get a picture of the vacuum lines set up properly. I have a L-48 engine with the smog pump hooked up. There is one hard line out of the carburator with no line hooked to it. And one 3 way T missing a line also. I am having a hard time finding the proper set up. My service manual has no pictures. Thanks

Hello,
While our friends are at it researching, I have the same problem with a 1973 454 engine. I have some extra lines I dont know where they go, and the Chiltons guide and other parts books do not give me a good idea of the proper connections. So if anyone knows where I can find the correct carb connections and vacuum connections let me know where I can see this.
Thanks for letting me tag along with your earlier post.

A couple of sources are
1. Dr. Rebuild catalog has a section of most engines with vacuum line connections.
2. Tom's 73 site has some info. Look at: http://1973-corvette.com/
3. Run a search on the forum for 73 vacuum lines and there is some info.
Good luck.

Factory assembly manual has vacuum hose routing diagrams. I would advise anyone that is working on an old Vette to get one ASAP. They do not cost that much and they can be a major help when working on these old girls.

Also is it hard to remove all that smog stuff including the air pipes that go into the manifolds?
