I recently acquired my 86 bronco w/ a 351 Windsor high output with what seems to be a stock autolite 4 barrel carb. I don't quite understand how to read the vacuum chart and not sure where all my lines should hook up. I noticed that on the air filter housing there are 5 places for what seems to be vacuum lines, but not sure which ones go there, and also I believe it is the PCV valves that are capped off. Can anyone help me with understanding where all the line hook up and how to read the chart?

Hey lil,

Welcome,

The pcv valve should have a line by itself to an engine vacuum port about 3/8" at the base of the rear of the carb.

You only have 1 pvc. For the rest, a pic, or 2 of what you have under your hood would help us alot.

A Bronc that old would likely have something cobbled by past owners and that may be why things are so confusing to you.

Im sure someone else on here has a vac diagram, ( M5, Bully, Krafty, Seabronc, Neb, Adam, others )

But if it doesn't match what you are looking at again it won't be much help.

yo,

Some info on the components shown in the vcuum diagram;

Fuel Bowl Vent Valve Depiction; "...The vent valve is a temperature actuated valve inserted in the carburetor-tocanister vent line. This valve is closed when the engine compartment is cold preventing fuel tank vapors from being vented through the carburetor fuel bowl, forcing them instead into the carbon canister..." - 80.6 MB pdf

AIR BPV: AIR BPV is the AIR Bypass (AIRB) Valve; also called the TAB (Thermactor Air Bypass) Valve

By-pass valves are part of the thermactor system and act to vent air from the air pump into the atmosphere or exhaust

system. Valves may be remote (in-line) or mounted on the air pump.

Air Control Valve

(Secondary Air Injection By-Pass Valve)The air control valve directs air pump output upstream to the exhaust manifold, or downstream to the catalyst system depending upon engine control strategy. This valve attaches to the lines from the air pump

The PCV valve controls the recirculation of blow-bygases from the engine crankcase,venting these gasesinto the intake manifold for combustion.

====================

What Carb is in there?

If 2150 see this 2V Parts Break-Out Diagram; Used on Various V 8 & V 6

It looks like the stock motor craft Holley 4180 I believe. I'm not familiar with what most of the components look like but I have been chasing lines trying to figure out where each should go. Do you know by chance how to load pictures?

Here is the bare minimum hookup I would use http://www.supermoto...ry/media/672883 Here is one from a 351 ** with dual gas tanks http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/276766_1 . A truck without dual gas tanks would only have half of the hardware shown at the bottom left. A key connection will be to the distributor, On a stock 4081 that is the port at the top of the carb just above the choke hardware. The two bowl vents should hook to the carbon canister hardware shown at the bottom left of the diagram.

Use the full editor to upload pictures and size them at about 900 X 675 so they will fit on the computer screen. Any larger than that makes them almost useless and takes for ever to display on a slow internet connection.

Good luck,
