All,
Ok, well, if I can squeeze in time and not have to work on an upcoming weekend, I'd like to replace the rubber vacuum lines (not worried about the plastic ones yet) on my 1979 Cutlass - automatic, 260 V8, non-California and non-high-altitude.
I was looking at this page:http://www.autozone.com/autozone/re...DIAGRAMS/VACUUM-DIAGRAMS/_/P-0900c15280055cf5 - and it looks like I have either Fig 25 or Fig 27 (at work now, and car's at home, so can't check under the hood to see which one matches)
Now, I know there are things not in the diagram (like the charcoal canister, etc.
So, to cover all the vacuum lines, what diameter vacuum lines do I need? I figure I probably will get a spool of whatever various sizes I should have (unless, say, there's only one short length of a particular size needed.
Also, looking at the diagrams I linked to, I see references to CTVS, DTVS, EGR-TCV, and SAVM. What do those acronyms stand for? (EDIT: ugh, Fig 1 told me that) Considering that, despite being under 48k original miles, these are 34 years old, are they failure prone? Is there any way to correctly test them? I'd rather NOT replace them if they're actually working correctly, but how can I be sure that they're regulating vacuum correctly?
Thanks in advance.
