Jonathan Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 The way to find the part numbers you need is to determine the calibration code for your truck, which then gives you the calibration parts list. To do that, go to Documentation/CALIBRATION INFO & PART #'S and read the intro. Perhaps you have the calibration code on the valve cover? If not, go to the Application To Parts List tab. There you'll find a bunch of #'s for various trucks and you can get it down to a short list of #'s for your truck based on the various parameters. Then go to the Parts Lists tab and scroll down to those lists and compare them. You may find that they all use the same delay and purge valves, which will answer your question(s). I only found half of the puzzle so far. I think I found the valve cover sticker under a lot of grease but no usable information remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can get it down to a very short list of parts lists, and then by comparing them I think you'll get the part numbers you are after. Ford tended to use the same part on several different parts lists, with a change here and there. Maybe you'll get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I connected it back without the purge valve just for now until I get everything in. I like to keep things mocked up so I don't forget. I can always plug it off when the truck starts running.

The vacuum line that looks like it goes to the transmission was clear plastic and kinked. I don't think much air would flow through that. The line was replaced.

I don't think much air would flow through that. The line was replaced. I will post my questions one at a time to keep it clear. What is the best way to fix this chewed off line for the vent control it looks like. Does it connect inside where I can replace the whole line? Or do I need to get a very tiny coupler? The line is very small and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line is very small and hard. This line from under the carburetor goes to the front of the engine close to the tree but not connected. Actually nothing is connected to the tree right now. Does it go here and if so does it matter which connection it uses? The small hard line connects to a soft line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard vacuum line coming from the distributor I found was just tucked under the air cleaner not connected to anything. Does it connect to a soft line like the other of this type? And where does it connect to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know for certain, but I would think you could clean that area up and use a soft line to connect the two, just as is done in other places on the truck. Those hard lines are all probably very brittle at this point. I hope you are making a chart for future you that is less cryptic than the Ford diagram. looking at photos, you may have some oil leaks to attend to later, judging from what looks to be caked on sludge on the outside. You may have to remove all your handiwork to get it cleaned and fixed if necessary, so a clear chart that you (at least you) understand would be a nice thing to have.

That should be the vacuum advance and according to your chart looks like "S" on the carb connections. but it also appears to be connected to the "3" line. That's going to be a line that needs to be in good condition to keep your vac advance working correctly. I would suspect there is a connection on base of carb for it? Definitely NOT to the air cleaner housing nipples in the photo. At least I wouldn't think they would do that since air cleaners get changed, removed, etc. That's about as helpful I can be on these since I don't know the codes on the parts and such on the Ford diagram.
