[mxpxpunkrock1987]

last owner had it outside been working on it sanding and replacing sheet metal and painting it so yeah its coming along motor is rebuilt i did it all myself just need this so it can run properly i have 2 screen names and one is moderator but between the 2 dont work very well so if someone can do the same with a video would be great this thing is stressing me out if i cant get it right i dont know what to do with it i also am working on my truck so the difference is truck runs and the festy backfires cause of the carb

Can you use a little more light?
That video is useless.

Make one in full daylight, and follow your hoses from one end to the other slow enough that we can follow you.

Stating that a hose goes "somewhere" doesn't help either... get under the car and see where it goes.

I probably can't help, other than to tell you what you need to do to ask for help properly.

Good luck

 

[cjones]

yeah, definately, more light is needed.

also, can you take still pics of them so we could mark what goes where??

at 25 seconds there are a B-H (Blue-Hash) and a O-H connected to what looks like a "T". where does the B-H go down to??

altitude compensator valve on firewall 29 seconds into video. port with line already on it goes to intake, center port goes to choke, other port goes to T-fitting between check valve and canister purge regulator.

at 1:02 top right corner what is the the round black object that the W-H hose goes into??

here are additional diagrams that may help

 

[cjones]

and the rest

Good job CJones!!!
You must have seen one of those babies before

 

[mxpxpunkrock1987]

well i have the lines right now thanks guys but my carb is shot its stars up and is chugging to much gas so it putts and backfires cause its flooding itself

? is the second barrel supose to work ?

 

[cjones]

Good job CJones!!!

thanks ; yeah, one of my specialties when i was turning wrenches. though i still consult.

if you want a fun car to do vacuum lines on, get an early/mid 80s civic with a 3-bbl carb. there are more than 30 separate vac circuits and over 100 separate hoses.


mxpxpunkrock1987: you should only have fuel in the smaller of the two barrels (the one with the choke plate) at idle.
