Jimmy rig Questions


Tourniqet

Recommended Posts

Most of these questions are because I had to custom fabricate (Jimmy rig) some parts on my car because of little things i forgot or incompatabilities. OK The output on the waterneck to my intake manifolds is blocked off... Is this ok? The vacume hose to the distributor is not hooked up, but the manifold hose is plugged (with a bolt and a tightly clamped hose clamp:ermm:) And lets see, I took all of the AC out, well most of it, is there anything i need to be carefull of because of that? The heater will come out soon too. Also I have the 73 with all the smog stuff (untill I ripped it all off and put dgv's on:devious:) so there is a coolant hose that runs arond the back of the engine by the firewall that connects to the intake manifold and also connects to the header, which is weird. But i just unplugged this and it does not leak. The previous owner had plugged the intake manifold coolant flow so I gues he plugged the other end of it into the waterneck at the base of the front of the engine. Although it still looks hooked up.... I have learned my lesson, I will definantly be more carefull next time. I should have taken a picture of all the screws left over that were under the car when it finally started running and I backed it out:stupid:. Anyway just wondering If i did anything that would make it blow up on me:D

Thanks guys

The Vacumm advance hose to the distributor is important for acceleration and prevention of pinging.

The heater hoses through the intake manifold help warm the car at start up and the quicker an engine warms up the longer it lasts.

However it's not overly important.

:classic:
