Inline 6 Vacuum Line Question

Okay, so I'm putting in my newfangled electric wiper motor, and I'm not sure what I do with the original vacuum outlet below the carb, on the intake? Can I just stick a cap on it?

Or is that going to mess up the delicate balance of air, gas and fire that makes my 216 blow the doors off my nieces' Barbie Jeep?

Thanks

Yup cap it

OR better yet hook a vacuum or "motorminder" gauge to it.

Remember if your engine backfires it may blow the cap off!!

 

Yes, or better, put a "wolf whistle" on it!

(Or a motor minder/vacuum guage is good too, I guess, but it doesn't make cool noises!)

 

i put a wee piece of leftover rubber hose over the end and put a bolt in it. my free vacuum plugs.

 

Oooh. Wolf Whistle...I didn't even think about that! Great idea. Doing that.
Thanks guys!

Good place for any vac***e power you may need. but the fitting is US pipe thresd into the cast iron. Just remove the fitting and put a standard pipe plug, use br*** it will not rust tight to the manifold.

 

what wiper motor did you use? was it easy to do? Im about to do the same on my 54 chev.

 

I like the wolf whistle idea.

HAMB POLL:

WHO LIKES WOLF WHISTLES?

 

I think they are tacky, tasteless, and the way they are usually used, ***ist and degrading to women, but other than that, a ton of fun!

 

54Bomb--I used a cheapo aftermarket electric from Hampton Coach. It's actually not installed yet--I am being OCD about making the bracket/install super clean. But I tested it last summer with a temp hook-up and it worked fine.
