Need Help Finding Finding a Part


Derrick
both hoses on the original harness had failed in the area near to the distributor and this what caused the opti failure on my car. Of course they failed in a spot which was not observable until I began tearing down the front of the engine.
part # 2 is a filter.
hose coming off of distributor plugs onto a 5/16 th " off sticker; used 5/16 th" fuel hose from there to up on top of engine next to valve cover. This replaced the original harness with it's smaller fragile hose that is prone to deterioration from oil soak and heat.
replaced part # 2 with a small inline metal fuel filter with slip on style hose barbs on each end. plugged the inlet side of the filter into the 5/16 th " hose.
took a short piece of 5/16th " hose and slid it on the hose barb on the discharge side of the filter.
plugged a reducing fitting to go from the 5/16 th " hose down to the stock vacumm hose size which runs to part # 1
part # 1 is a check valve; this can be replaced with any generic check valve of a similiar size, available at any parts store.
works fine, costs a whole lot less than a stock harness (if you can find one), is easily concealled under the engine cover, and is a whole lot more rugged than the original set up.
