Author Topic: What hose goes here? (Read 3391 times)

I have a spare vacuum port on the throttle body after I cleaned up the mess under the intake, thanks to this thread.

So, what should I put here? Plug it, maybe?

Otherwise, does anyone see anything amiss so far?

I think that one goes to the vacuum canister.

What vacuum canister? Is it necessary?

Forgive me; I'm new to the M42 world and I didn't remove this engine from its donor car.

There's a purge valve and a vac can under the P/S reservoir on the stock car. If you don't have a vapor recovery system off the gas tank you have little need for it. I'd plug it if that's the case.

Perfect. Thanks!

Here's a pix of the canister. It has a short piece of hose (with a one way valve I'm guessing) and then runs to the TB.
