What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[SS Shaun]

cut out some bondo off my fender




hope to have it finished today

[carpoor]

I dove in with two feet this morning intending to get the car running and the cam broken in...







This is where I left off today. Chasing down some wires, trying to figure out where they go.



And trying to identify what two vacuum ports on my carburetor are for. (see the red caps) I am thinking they go to the valve on the snorkel of the air cleaner.



I may take another stab at it after work tomorrow.

Check this post out, asked the same question.

I know the one on the side goes to your TC Solenoid behind the carb and maybe the wires you are trying to figure out are the ones for it.

No TC Solenoid or wiring for it that I can find. I have an orange wire that runs along the passenger side valve cover. I have a black wire that runs along with the blue wire that goes to my oil sender. And tan wire that runs along the driver's side valve cover, and is too short to be associated with the AC compressor. (I think the tan wire may go to the AC idle solenoid on the carburetor. The other two have me stumped.

I was talking about vacuum lines, Lol. Did the link help at all for the vacuum lines? Looks like a stock 72 motor in the photo's. Best I could find so far.

Yes Ray, it did help. I figured the one on the side was for the air cleaner. The link you supplied verified that. It also showed the one on the front of the carb I was unsire about is related to that AIR system. (It will be plugged off as I do not have any smog junk on my car.) I also dug around and found the TC solenoid wiring, it looked like a similar plug as the wiper motor. The tan wire I was wondering about does indeed go to the fast idle solenoid on the carburetor. So now I have just two wires to figure out. (The orange wire on the passenger side, and the black wire on the driver's side.)

I am going to attempt to start it Saturday, if it runs without those two wires... I will just tape them up in the harness.
