Where's this go? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, trivia time. I'm detailing the 77 today, and ran acros a couple of things I need answers to.

I have a line running out of the back of the carb base plate that is blocked off. I can't find any place that is went to. Does this come capped off from the factory? I know this isn't the way the factory would do it. Maybe someone last the cap, and used this instead....

How about a vacuum line for the heat/ac. Alot of trucks used it to open the vacuum canister for vents to sitch from dash to floor etc etc.

thats probably not the stock carb. none of my 77s or any quadrajets of mine for that matter, have ever had that hookup. its null & void in your application

I think this is the port for the air cleaner. Can't remember for sure. But I believe this hose went to the hot air sensor inside the air cleaner.

If you don't need it, buy a cap to go on it. It will look better than a piece of hose stuck on it. As Mike said, it may be you have a newer Q-jet on there too.

Nope, it's not that. The hot air sensor is hooked up to another line.

I think mike reeh may be right. Since everything appears to be hooked up and working correctly, I am going to assume it's not supposed to go anywhere. Tomorrow when I go by the auto parts for hose clamps, and plug wire clips, I'll get a vacuum cap too...

if you give me the exact specs of your truck (year, engine, state, tonnage, AC, etc) Ill scan in the GM vacuum diagram from the 77 manual..

After looking at the pic again, I think this port was used for the EGR bleed solenoid on my 85. You don't have a EGR, right? So I say the carb has been swapped out to a later model. Maybe. Could be. Heck I don't know. Cap it with a vacuum cap.

**N2TRUX** · 09-06-2003, 11:21 PM

That would be cool Mike. It's a 77 Cheyenne with a/c and 350/350 auto. It's a 2wd, 1/2 ton, and it's not a Cali spec truck. What else ya need?

*mike reeh* · 09-07-2003, 12:39 AM

interesting. all the california emissions trucks didnt have that connector but apparently your truck may have needed it:

thats for light duty emissions which I would assume your half ton is.. Here is the heavy duty emissions..

hope this helps

Maybe a rear vacuum brake? Looks like it was taken off.
