1971 LS5 Vacuum Lines Routing / Location
My 1971 LS5 convertible has just returned from a 18 month restoration. I question the manifold / carb / distributor / headlights / wiper door vacuum configuration. Particularly on top of the engine, under the air breather housing. Does anyone have an example of a '71 LS5 (454ci/365hp) properly (original) plumbed for vacuum? Clear digital pix of the top of the engine with the air breather removed would be great. My Vette has no power steering, power brakes booster, or AC. It is equipped with a HD 4 sp. Muncie. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
regards, bob

Welcome.
Sounds like a really cool car Bob. Can you post a few pics of the car since getting it back from restoration?
We loves pics here, and I know someone will have some great shots for you.

What exactly do you need to know? if you are talking about engine vacuum, then I have a 2 port outlet in the intake, one port goes to transmission, and the other goes to a filter and then into a check valve whcih has 2 outputs, one to the vacuum tank, the other to inside cabin.
Its dark here and I cant get a cear picture to you, I can take a shot tomorrow and post it here.
