RE: [DML] HOW MANY HOSES

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

There are 11 vacuum hoses on the upper part of the engine. They are all in
my silicone vacuum hose kit. $49.95 Life Warranty.

Hmm....

3 hoses from thermal control valve. one goes to manifold vac, one to the
CPR,
one to the advance solenoid.

from the one hose that goes to the CPR from the TCV, it branches off into a
loop with the vacuum delay valve for a 20 sec wait until upper and lower
chamber equalization under full throttle. there should be a T intersection
with one
side going into the front of the CPR, and other going into the vacuum delay
valve (not mounted on anything, just hangs there), and then to the back of
the
CPR (back is rear of car, not back of engine).

1 short hose goes from the advance solenoid to the vacuum advance diaphragm
on the side of the distributor.

1 hose goes from the bundle coming out of the charcoal canister in the
driver's side pontoon and goes down into the lower half of the air meter
assembly
(long hose).

1 thick hose goes from the side of the oil cap to the cold start valve pipe
(PCV system)

1 thinner hose goes from the charcoal canister to the cold start valve pipe
also (EVAP purge system)

There are also a few hoses that go to the climate control system and the
brake booster, but I assume those weren't touched? IIRC, they are not
visible
outside of the pontoon, so i doubt a mechanic would find them unless he
really
dug around.
