    You explained it so well.
    Im no mechanic I bought a 71 Chevy C10 with a 307, I converted 2 B to 4B.
    The way you showed how to hook up vacuum lines helped and improve my vehicle. Thank you.

    This is awesome! I have a '77 P30 and we spent the better part of the day trying to figure out how the vacuum went. I'm glad someone finally explained it all. You're the man!!!

    Thank you so much! My 1971 is running so smooth now, I couldn't figure out how they went since the previous owner didn't know what he was doing!

    This is useful information clearly and simply detailed. Well done!
    A perfectly working PVC is important to the engines health.
    The air filter housing looks great. Simple things like that make a difference. I bought a 1985 C10 last week and am going through all the vacuum lines removing most along with the disconnected or defective air pollution control items.

    Your video os still helping people. It just helped me tremendously! Thanks!!! NO ONE could tell or help me with my vacuum lines. 1971 Chevy been sitting for months due to carburetor vacuum lines connected improperly. Even rebuilt carburetor thinking that was the problem. Thanks again!

  • @2Truth4Liberty
    @2Truth4Liberty 4 года назад +3

    FYI - the charcoal canister . . .
    when the engine has been running and then stops (taking a normal trip somewhere)
    the the fuel in the carburetor will expand/evaporate and the evaporates vapor gets pushed down to the canister.
    Then, when you start the engine, those vapors are pulled back up and get burned by the running engine.
    This is an environmental thing and is not a requirement for the engine to run.

  • @chriscraft77022
    @chriscraft77022 5 лет назад +2

    everyone pulls that off cause they run so much better without that crap on there.. that extra vacuum to the charcoal canister is the power robber.. i hooked all that up one time and the car got slower.. same set up on a 72 monte carlo.. the emissions systems on those years was bogus crap... literally .. the charcoal canister is the vent to your gas tank..

    Thank you for this very helpful video, I just installed a new Edelbrock 600 cfm on my 1973 Elco and was having a hard time how to understand the vacuum system on the 350. Now I need to change my brake booster vacuum line to the manifold port. My Elco is also a Cali girl, stock 350, working on getting rid of the smog crap.

  • @bigbawsz2054
    @bigbawsz2054 2 года назад

    I just bought a brand new goodwrench 350sbc for my 69’ Chevy c10. Everything all brand new from hoses, to carb, manifold, I mean every single thing new lol. Year later the damn thing just stopped staying running I turn engine over and as soon as I let go of the gas pedal it’ll die! So now I’m going to use your video and hopefully figure out what the heck went wrong! Thanks for posting

  • @ChaosExplained

  • @abe43zoo
    @abe43zoo 7 лет назад +4

    Enjoyed your video. I just finished doing same job on my '72 C10 with 350 I've owned for 30 years now. Noticed you didn't change the hose running from the charcoal canister to the front lower vent pipe to tank. I noticed in the Chevy service manual (section8-12 , figure 16) that there is a small plastic "restrictor" with a small hole in it 1 .25 " in line from the canister end. I cut into my old hose and there it was so I shoved it down in my new hose. Not really sure what it does other than restrict flow. I would not have discovered this without having seen the illustration in the factory service manual. Hope this helps anyone changing these hoses and wanting to keep the system stock. I could have easily thrown my old hose away without knowing there was anything up inside it. Also I installed new filter (made from a dust mask) in bottom of the charcoal canister. I removed battery and tray to get to it. Thanks for letting me comment, love my old truck. Thanks.

    Hi, my friend, congratulations on the pair of videos, which are of great help to us mechanics, I have put and replaced the hoses and also the thermostat of the carburetor but I have not managed to get my truck in the morning to turn it on by itself , I have to be accelerating until it warms up, I hope you can help me and once more happiness for your videos

  • @Ariccio123
    @Ariccio123 8 лет назад +1

    Yup, it helped me! ...but you should still care about emissions EVEN if you're not legally required to! Older cars have a wildly disproportionate effect on overall air quality, and it'd be the proper thing to make sure all emissions systems work.
    That's actually why I'm here: my dad's 69 Chevy is totally missing the heat riser and THERMAC vacuum hoses (he says he had it removed years ago because some mechanic thought it was causing problems), and I want to be a good citizen and pollute as little as possible :)

  • @2Truth4Liberty
    @2Truth4Liberty 4 года назад +1

    FYI - the air filter snout valve -- is not about smog
    It is about helping a cold engine run better by drawing warmer air from an air tube between the exhaust manifold and the snout when the ending is cold.
    The warmer air helps the gasoline vaporize for better combustion.
    As the engine warms and the choke opens, the snout close off the "warm air" inlet and will begin taking air from the engine compartment rather than from the tube bringing air from around the exhaust manifold.
    If you have not tube connected between the snout and the exhaust manifold (like the engine in the video) then there is no need for any vacuum lines.
    This feature is usually negligible help to the engine except for sub freezing temperatures.

    awesome tutorial but i would recommend doing what i did and just cut all that crap off except for the vacuum advance. I took that charcoal can off my f100 and all that vacuum crap off because its not needed. But this is a very awesome tutorial for someone that wants that stuff. :) Very well done.

On the Quadrajet that I have I am referring to the Vacuum breaker. Even after the engine reachs operating temp. The Vacuum breaker is not releasing Vacuum to allow the Secondaries to open at all. Do you have some helpful advice for me so I may fix this problem?

    this is a huge help. I am working on a 75 c10 , and this is similar enough to explain quite a bit. Can you explain what the pieces inside the air breather are supposed to do though? It seems good to know that you dismiss the parts so easily, but what should those 2 vacuum lines accomplish?
