Troy Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Unless you have a very large compressor, plug the individual lines, or do it in a way I've not grasped, it would be hard to maintain 5 psi in the vacuum system. But, you can do the smoke test, as described here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/#nabble-td11511 I see a dollar cigar in my future ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vjsimone Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Vinny - What year EVTM is that from? It is good stuff! Gary, when I get back to the house in a few days, I will look. Seems to me it was around 87 or 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about capturing those pages somewhere for vacuum info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjsimone Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Don't I have an '87 EVTM from you? I was just thinking about capturing those pages somewhere for vacuum info. I don't remember the ones I sent you, but I do have a spare 87 I can send you (as long as your Bullnose garage won't reject it..). I'll check it out this coming week...

I'll check it out this coming week... I thought you said "May I look at the '87 EVTM" when you were here. Like you knew I had one. And I reached up, pulled it out, and handed it to you. So I assumed you'd given it to me. I'll go out and check after while to make sure I have one - after the rain stops as I might melt. But I'm pretty sure I do. However, the Bullnose garage, aka Garagemahal, doesn't reject anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All '88-96/7 EFI vacuum lines are essentially the same layout: https://supermotors.net/getfile/894687/thumbnail/vaclinesefi.jpg The only minor changes are for systems that are deleted, like 2ndry air, MAP, or a vacuum kickdown. Some '87s add a stove valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
