Before this weekend comes around and I install the new distributor I want to be sure that I cover all my bases and get this installation correct. But I still have a few issues I need to work out with my vacuum. I want to be sure that I set it up correctly so please let me know if I am missing something or if there is any issues with my thinking.
Firstly, I am planning on using the vacuum port on the intake log and one on the carb spacer a few inches above the the one on the log to supply the vacuum for the car. From what I have researched and gathered, there are four vacuum lines that I need to run. one to the transmission(currently hooked up to the port in the log), one to the distributor, one to the PCV valve, and one to the brake booster. Is that correct?
I was planning on using the vacuum port in the intake log (T it off) to run a line to the transmission and one to the brake booster. I was going to use the port on the carb spacer (T it off) to run a line to the pcv valve and the distributor. Is that a solid plan?
I currently have a breather in the valve cover where the PCV valve would go. Is there any benefit to me putting in a PCV valve instead of the breather cap? Would the car be easier to tune with a PCV valve or breather cap?
Is the vacuum from these two ports enough to run to these four lines? I was also planning on running hard steel lines instead of rubber lines, I think it would look better. Is there any issues with hard lines vs. rubber lines? The only issue that I know I will have with hard lines is that the last few inches of line going to the distributor will need to be rubber so the dizzy can be rotated for adjustment. Am I missing anything?
Does anyone happen to have any pictures of running hard lines for fuel and vacuum?
As always, thanks for the help and advice!!!
