Oh NO Manifold!

[Goon]

Well

I installed my manifold tonight to only notice that it doesnt have a valve to stick my metal line on like my old one, i never realised untill now.. the old one was an 88-3 the new one is an 88-4.. so what do i do with this metal line?

Just above the egr valve on the carby, does that line go the the 5 piece valve on the right rear? <-- first valve on the carby above the egr.

Please can someone help before 6am

Does this metal line go to your carb? Just plug it with a hose and screw for th time being until you get pictures of what you mean.

[Goon]

The metal line connected to a valve under my old manifold, but there no spot on the other one.

On the carby above the egr valve, not the egr itself.. where does the carby line go to?

[Goon]

Looks like this metal line puts oil in the manifold or something, maybe justa drip system? I'm going to follow the line shortly and find out where its coming from.

it'll either be emmision crap which you can just block up, or it'll be the line to the solenoid on the trans to make it shift, therefore run it off a vaccuum port on the carb which gets vaccuum the same time the manifold does...

[Goon]

Yeah i solved the carby line above the egr.

I have a rubber line going from the rear of my rocket cover, the pipe piece to the manifold andnow just this metal line thats rogue and no where to go. i'll kick her over soon and see what happens.

If its to make her shift, do you mean those metal gold valves that sit on the sides on the mnaifold?

[Goon]

Well i turned her over and.........

Woohoo shes sounds so much sweeter, wit the carby redone and an almost new manifold, her reaction with the pedal is so much sweeter and the gears change without problems.

Taking her for a test drive soon to see if anything comes out of the metal lne when i shift!

I nothing occurs from this line, just clamp it shut with pliers should be okay?

[craigvk]

You might find that the metal pipe works on vacuum from the carb to the transmission and it won't change up or down gears unless it's connected to the carb, that is if it's the one I think you're talking about.

[Goon]

It was originaly from my manifold, connecting under the hose connection that leads to the pvc pipe on the rear rocket.. The metal line i think it leads to the gearbox, looks like it

Well im guessing it might need a vaccum as she wouldnt shift and if i went above 20k in D then slowdown she would stall

What part of the manifold can i connect this metal line upto to get vaccum?

Whats flooding sound like in idle wise? i don't think its flooding i think its her timing.

In Reverse i did hear a strange sound.. not sure what it was, though u cant hear it in D

[EDIT] this metal line would connect under the engine breath hose connection of the manifold.

ignore this post, i stuffed up, read the next one... lol...

[atrail308]

The metal line needs to go to a x-mas tree off your manifold, it is for you shift solenoid on the trans, but if you got none free either disconnect a emmision line or use a port on the carb which gets vac the same time the manifold gets it...
as for flooding, you'll see black smoke from your exhaust, if you got a manifold leak, it'll be too lean which can cause it to stall when slowing down or at idle like you mentioned...

[Goon]

Yeah looks like i need it to shift, i tok her for a drive up the road and she only went to 1500rpm and the belt started to squeak like shiat! so i just parked her...

Any ideas on an area i can connect the line to on the carb? i guess a t pipe piece is in the right direction?

Looks like it wasnt flooding just timing out, but i fixed that. Just need to shift and shes fine

[Edut] just did some research and i now see why, thanks atari
Just need a hose now

[atrail308]

atari??? whos that??? lol...
there should be a big port on the base of the carby that'll have manifold vac...
as for you're squeelnig belt, tighten him...

[Goon]

Done & Done thanks ataril308

When i accel a bit i can her an outboard boat motor sound, sounds like the carby, this is normal? Ive only been up 60k with no worries, i just hear that sound when i accel abit to cruise on the eco gauge.

[EDIT] Everything okay now, thanks Grunt i love it !!
