i just got my 4bbl intake(cast iron), and it has a flat sheild like shape with 3 spots to bolt something down to it. these 3 spots do not go through to mount the intake down, therefore what does go there? i would like for the motor to look as original as possible. anyone have any ideas?
several #'s long one is C8ZE-9425-A then there is a k right under that, also 7H30. does any of this help? btw whats a throttle linkage bellcrank?
so long as you are answering questions and seem to have the knowledge, the multi-port vacume at the rear on your picture, mine has one to. but shape and set up look diff. does it matter? is that many ports necessary?
JMGFord you have been around Fords for a few days. I had a draft tube on a 61 and it blew so bad I had to drive with the window down. No fun in the winter.
It means it stunk up the insides of the car and he had to drive with the window down so he didnt asphixiate himself
Pic number 3 shows a tube that goes to the back of the carb. Well before that it was a down draft tube that came off and went down under your car and let the fumes off there. With the oils we had back then and the buildup of sludge some cars had a lot of blowby. Now if your car had rusty floors then you got that smell inside, thats why my windows were open. It was a 61 Galaxie with an old Y-block. I hope I didn't lose you. Rick
You've got the J code 68 Mustang 4 bbl intake, and if it's all original, that vacuum Tee you're asking about is worth at least $50. Do NOT toss it in the scrap pile.
i would like to replace my vacum tee,but im not sure just how many ports i'll need. with the car in pieces when i got it, how many do i need?
you will need one for the trans if its a c4 automatic. if you have power brakes they will need a vac. port. are you keeping the smog equipment? if so then you will need to see what it requires. if your striping it all down to as simple as possible then the trans and the brakes would be all that you would need. the distrubtor gets what is called ported vacuum. that comes from the carb and only gets a vac. signal when the throttle blades are not closed.
