Engine In! But broke vac solenoid


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Well I successfully pulled my EA81, installed new clutch and seals. No more oil leaks! No more slipping!

 

Unfortunately in the process I busted the right vacuum solenoid switch. That was a $100 mistake. Here's the question: What does this thing do anyway? I need a primer on vacuum hoses. I am thinking about replacing my Carter-Weber with a Weber. If I do that, will I need any of these vacuum lines?

 

I had to up the idle and advance the timing in order to keep the engine running with the vac lines plugged after pulling the broken vac solenoid. I ordered the part, but before paying I would appreciate advice.

 

Daily driver dl it is, no racing and I lean towards economy. Thanks

Got Hitachi manifold, need Weber. Preferably one that is rebuildable out of a bone yard. I have not been able to find one yet. My question is, when I get my Weber, will I be hooking any vacuum lines to it? Or can they all be plugged up?

 

sorry i cant help you with the solenoud part, but if you want to go with a WEBER you will need a hitachi manifold
