Re: Vacuum hose question '71 Hornet

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Does the emission sticker show the vacuum routing? If not, a TSM should 
show it or at least explain how to hook it all up. The vacuum system should 
be pretty simple on an early 70's car but besides engine and transmission, 
there could be differences based on carburetor size (1 barrel vs 2), if it 
has air conditioning, power steering, an air pump, cruise control, or is a 
California or high altitude car (the emissions sticker should tell you 
these things).

If you don't have a TSM, you should get one. 1971 TSM's are being 
reproduced and you should be able to find one for about $70. These manuals 
are worth every penny.

P.S. If you're going to ask for an off-list reply, please include your 
email address in the message body somewhere. Mailing list software changes 
the reply to address to the mailing list itself which means that I had to 
look at the email headers to see your email address. This isn't always easy 
to do (depending upon the email software being used) and isn't even an 
option with some packages.
