i need help

[tobiahr]

Looks like one of the hundreds of Chevy 2 barrel manifolds I've scrapped in my lifetime. I would start looking for just about any 2 barrel Chevy carb you can find...Looks like 500 CFM is the most common size on 8 cyl engines so anything off a 8 cyl chevy should work. If you were in the US just about any salvage yard would be able to help you find one but there i don't know.

[redneckbilly]

i'll try with that...thanks

yeah sometimes it's just seems to me that i was born in wrong place

[redneckbilly]

hey man i just bought me a carb! oh yeaaaaaaah. same as my old one but boy am i happy!!!!!

that means maybe i'll be drivin' this year!!!!!!

i could cry now

[tobiahr]

you still have money for christmas presents?...gotta keep the girlfriend happy

[redneckbilly]

no i don't have money but i'll figure out something hmmm hope she'll understand.

[redneckbilly]

after few weeks of waiting my carb is finaly here. and now i have one question.
on the back side of plate, where carb attaches to manifold, there is one hole. there used to be some kind of plug but it seams to weird to me. what do you think is it ok or it should be something else here?

[tobiahr]

looks to me like the spot you would normally attach the vaccuum line for the brake booster...maybe someone else here has a better idea

[redneckbilly]

hmmm that's good clue. i'll go right on to it. maybe i'll find some "blind hoses" there!

[tobiahr]

if it is the booster it will be the large hose circled in the pic....best i could find

[redneckbilly]

it's not booster type. and i found it's conected wit steering pump so....
so when i look from logic side of mine brain' thoigh my father says there is no logic whatsoever in my head, this rubber plug will be norma. it will expand just enough to apsorb impuls...am i right?

and there is mess under that hood. there is so much strange hoses...i'll try to conect them as they were but it want hurt to ask. so here are the pics...



so A goes on A, and B goes on B?

and yes what is that black thing circled in greean, and there is one hose pluged with bolt, that on cicled in red?

[redneckbilly]

ohhh yes i almost forgot.

i have one t-section and dont know where to conect it. and on other pic you could see EGR, if it is EGR, where to plug this one?

i know i look like total idiot now. and probably my excuse is lame, but in cirle of maybe 100 miles from me this is probably only USA made carburated car so....

[tobiahr]

is there a label on the radiator support that says "emissions" and has a line drawing on it?
if not i'll take a pic of mine tonight and post it or send it to you....it should show all the hoses and where they connect.

[redneckbilly]

it has some kind of emissions label, some drawings, but who knowes because it is probably from diesel engine before.....i'll take pic of it tomorow.

anyway thanks for help. it's 10 pm here and i'm going to bed.

pics of your carb will be great, i could figure something out from them.

My wife and I were in Croatia this past July. It is truly a beautiful place. Good luck with your truck.

[redneckbilly]

thanx for wishes

yes croatia is beautiful, we have all in our small country. but this is bad place for chevy fans lol. no parts at all!

[redneckbilly]

here is the pic from radiator support....but as i said it could be from diesel before so......

[tobiahr]

i forgot this was a diesel in a previous life....i'll take a pic of mine this evening and send it to you...it may help

Its going to be to big to post here ...pm me with your email and i'll send it to you

Redneck: I'll do some looking around and see if I can't come up with a shop manual related to your vehicle. It may not be exactly the right year but it will be as close as I can get. I can't make any promises though. Send me your e-mail address. Mine is jmcclur2@nycap.rr.com. jim

[redneckbilly]

james i just sent you an e mail.

tobi you got pm.

i'm just out of my shop. mostly i was working on my cousins scooter, but my eyes was on my sweet ride. oh man if i only get him working and do some chasing with police ! i worked 2 years to buy me my dream, and with every touch i love him more.....

[tobiahr]

i realized after i took the pic that i have a 88 raditor support...here is the VECI label that i have...i found a so so of the old one and added it...it was for the 82 gas engine

[redneckbilly]

i'll try to zoom in and try to read it right....thanx

do you maybe have pic of carb where i could see all the lines?

[tobiahr]

I could take a pic but i have a different carb so the vacuum lines would be in different spots

[redneckbilly]

ok. i'll try to conect them like preowner.

thanx for help. i belive i could do it over weekend, if i sucseed i'll let you know

[redneckbilly]

so, it's sunday morning here. i spent whole last night freezing my but( my wood stove is to small to heat up my shop) working on that jap scooter i promissed my cousin i'll rebuild for him. and than something went through my mind. i took chilton's manual i got and start investigate my engine. what i noticed that chilton's is not so good as haynes. there is so little pics and graphics in chilton's. but what the heck, i only got this one.
so what i noticed is that i don't have EVAP canister. than i relize i should go way back and i finaly need to know what year is my engine. it's should be 79/80 from chevy van. but i don't trust that anymore. does anybody knowes where i could find engine serial number?
also i noticed that radiator is from diesel, because it has outlets for oil cooler.
so what i plan to do is tu put johny cash cd in radio, try to find evry single thing that has vacum line on it and than try ti figure it oput how to conect them on carb.
i worked on harleys 6 years as mechanc, and this is my first car i'll rebuild and man so much lines is so cofusing

and yes there is one thing that i can't find i manual. you can see it in pic. what is it?

so, i wish you all to have good sunday

[redneckbilly]

sorry i you coul see it better now, this one circled in red.
