kc8oye Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I didn't like the vac. line for my A/C controls running from the front of the carb along the side of the intake and up to the firewall.. so I replaced it with an AN-4 line and relocated the line to the back of the intake manifold just behind (Actully underneath) the secondary float bowl...

Ian Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Looks good, are you going to replace the other vac line? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Tim, do you run a spacer under your carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckeng Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Looks good tim, I love AN fittings and nice line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8oye Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 the fingers are very sore. no sam, no spacer. that fitting for the brake line only JUST fits under the float bowl.. I have plenty of room around my fitting :> yes, all the lines i can do will be AN style eventually.. but as costly as this stuff is.. just a little at a time. My next move is going to be to replace the rubber hose and chrome line between the regulator and the carb.. I'm pushing the NHRA rules limiting you to 12" of rubber hose right now.

Sam (Bones) Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 your intake responds very nicely to a spacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 tim why didn't you change the fitting for the brakes? also if you are going to do the an lines look into getting the wrench set so you dont mess up the fittings. my fitting for the brake booster doesn't hit the rear bowl on my 750.

Mikstudie Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Good idea Tim,looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8oye Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 rob.. yeah.. the others will be changed.. eventually.. but this AN stuff is EXPENSIVE. 3 feet of AN-4 hose, two straight ends, and two pipe thread to AN adapters cost me $45.... so just a little at a time. sam.. I used to run a spacer (adapter) when I had the qjet.. it actully ran worse with it.. but that could have been the qjet. i'm not buying anything for the car this week, because I'm gonna spend $25 to get into the drag strip and $60 on a tank of gas and go do some tuning :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8oye Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 rob.. yes.. I want to get the set of aluminum wrenches.. but I have some new tips on how to avoid the damage w/o them :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckeng Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 You can wrap the fittings with masking tape, that helps a bunch. Also, use the fattest wrench you have and that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc8oye Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 scott, I'm going to get an aluminum adjustable wrench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orange Flame 72 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Still, wrap that wrench in electrical tape to create a rubber-like cushion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
