ArdWrknTrk Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Dorman 47076 is the ball reservoir used on later Ford trucks Thank you, do you know if the screw holes line up on the fender? And what do I do with the other line connection that I don't use. I only have one line going to mine. If your system has the reservoir on a tee, you could just put a vacuum cap on the other port. Or you could run both lines to this and put it in place of the tee. I'd imagine the rubber lines could use replacing anyhow, after 40 years. I don't know if the holes line up. I don't know if the later plastic inner fenders are exactly the same. It's not as if another hole makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Vigrue sells a nice set of Ottiker clamps (with crimping pliers) to keep these lines attached. The AISN # B086ZH79PB Thanks, I was wondering about that. The factory connection looked very secure. That kit is very affordable. Much more affordable then the one I got for CV boots. I will try my banding tool first since it cuts off the excess it should work okay. Here is the one I have already. BAND-IT A92079 Tie-Lok II Hand Tool https://amzn.to/2R2HgVk Dont forget what Gary and Dave said about using a cheap lawnmower filter to keep the mud out. My '87 truck still has the vent cap on it. But yours may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I removed the line from the carb and cleaning up all the fittings. I cut new line from what I had laying around that seems like a close match. I would just epoxy that hose nipple back into the carb body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut new line from what I had laying around that seems like a close match. I replaced the lines after cleaning up all the little bits. Does anyone know where the line where the T connection port goes to? I can't make heads or tails of the vacuum diagram. It was not connected on my truck. The metal coupler that connects to the carburetor is staying in so far. I think it was not in deep enough before to stay because the rubber hose was slid on too far.

If the can wasn't even connected maybe someone squirted oil in tryin to keep it from rusting out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarlisle Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 My thought is to cap it til it can be figured out. Even if it were to do nothing, it would keep bugs and dirt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
