Having been ill for an ongoing length of time my truck fell into disrepair. A well intended friend offered to rebuild the carb for me and it was running seriously rich. The snow where my exhaust exited was black within minutes when it sat and idled for no more that 2 minutes. Well he said he rebuilt the carb but it was still pouring out fuel and was no different than before he rebuilt it. He instead put a different carb on it. The truck was couching, spitting, backfiring and running richer and blowing soot out as it was with the original carb. I was 2 blocks from my house when a distinct knock started from the engine and I immediately returned to the house and it has been sitting here for several months.
I got the original carb back and it is repaired, I need to know where the vacuum lines connect, since I did not remove it the hoses and were not tagged as I would have done. I removed and cleaned the EGR valve and ports, they were completely clogged, unrecognizable was the port with the valve.
I am replacing the PCV valve and the locations described in the manual are not where I think I found mine. I think mine is behind the alternator, between the distributor and intake manifold. It fell to pieces when I removed it. The pic description includes more details. Can anyone confirm this is where the PVC valve is located?
The vacuum hoses are color coded and the emissions sticker was not on the truck when I bought it. Can anyone direct me as to what color attaches to what port as described in details of photo? I need to get this truck back on the road. Thanks
