Can someone show me where the vacuum lines connect to from the egr valve? I also want to know if the valve can be cleaned. A picture of the engine bay would be great, thanks.
Where does the orange and right hose connect to? These are good pictures, can the valve be cleaned, my mechanic told me that mine is not working, so he has capped the outlet ports. Also, could you please send a shot of your brake fluid reservoir? I have a wire that is loose, and I am not sure where it goes. I like the color of your car, would love to see more photos of your car.
I'll take a few more pics tonight and also double check how those lines are routed...
...quick answer on the orange hose (on right of the egr), I recall that one runs to the front, around the valve cover base, then down towards the intake manifold...
Luke, here's a few more pics for you:
Pic 1: shows the orange line starting at the exhaust manifold
Pic 2: shows the orange line and the right side egr vac line entering a sleeve with several other vac lines...
Pics 3 and 4: this group of lines runs in front of the motor towards the lower front of the intake manifold...
Pic 5: shows the sleeve with the orange line exiting on the right
Pic 6: shows the valve that the vac lines connect to
Pic 7: a close up of the valve
Pic 8: pic of the brake res. cap and connectors
Pic 9: shows the wires from the brake res cap merging into the wire loom
Pic 10: wire entering the fuse box.
These pictures really help. My reservoir is shaped different from yours, I only have one connection on top. Thanks, I can definitley use these pictures. Did that brake reservoir come with your car, or did you replace it?
The reservoir is stock.
Btw, my 78 is a California model so some of the vac lines might be different.
