Re: [BaadAssGremlins] re: vacuum lines (was crap for swapping V8)

Ya'll don't be a Aggie and put JB down the carb! On the emissions tubs that come out of the exhaust manifold they all go in a line to a main tube that runs horizontally to the engine. In the very back near the firewall is a chole point, that is where there is a small bel shaped emissions piece. I simply took the hose off the top of that, and filled the hole with JB Weld. Heat makes it cure faster, however I let it sit for a day, then fired it up for about 5 minutes, checked for leaks, none, but then levelled the top of it off as it has sunk down some, so levelled it off with rest of tube of JB Weld. CJ if you or anyone else need photos I'll take some jpegs tomorrow of the 82 engine.

Wait a second Eddie isn't telling you to plug up your vacum holes in your carb with JB. That $4.00 bag of plastic caps will be fine for that. What Eddie had on his was an air pump that pump fresh air into the exhaust manifold. He took the air pump off and plug the holes going into the exhust manifold with JB. I might be wrong but I don't think yours has an air pump on it.

Thanks, I'll snag a tube of JB and plug all my holes. It's a brand new carb, so maybe that'll do it. There is also a vac line to the tranny too, but i'll leave that one be.

I had no problems with the timing when disconnecting any of them. One thing I did do and should mention is I adjusted the air/fuel mixture on the carb and the idel screw, but just to make up for it not having all the bullshit life support connected to it.

My 82 Eagle wagon has a 258 and 210,000 miles on it, I bought it at 81,000. I left the crap emissions on it for two years, then in a fit, tore all that crap out, as the car ran like crap no matter what I tried and simply just got tired of screwing with it. The pile of hoses and wires, smog pump, tubs and crap from under the engine was staggering and I took a photo of it. Abot 2 feet high and maybe three feet circumfrence. Just absolutely amazing.

I disconnect the electrical shit on back of carb, readjusted it, reset the timing (not on Hornet but on this Eagle) and plugged all holes, some like the emission tubes that come out of exhaust manifold I broke the main one in back and poured two tubes of JB Weld in it, which sealed it and remains today almost ten years later like a bad Jurassic Park movie.

The car not only had more power and get up, but also seemed to have tons more towing capacity as it is my Planet Houston Swap Meet Tow Car and hauls not only parts but also whole cars.

Will plugging the vac lines throw off the timming?

This is one you get a batch of those rubber plugs sold at Auto Zone for $4, find right size and plug the hole in the carb after you disconnect the cannister.

My charcoal bucket has a line going to the carb.

photo 596 shows back on intake, note little vacuum modulator with no hoses
to it, this might be one of the things you mention with hoses. It is not to
the round thing but directly in front of the big hose, barely seen.
photo 597 shows a worthless piece of shit thing on the side of the block
which used to have 3-4 vac lines. This is on the driver side of the engine,
you can see the back of the altenator in front of photo.
photo 598 shows your black bucket thing, which is a charcoal bucket for
emissions. This outlived it's usefulness in the Reagan administration.
Again, nothing attached to it.
Hope some of these photos help, especially that taco helped me. If you need
a NOS AMC jalapeno I have a special on them
