vacumn pipes pic request

Post

Back to the top
If  anybody can  help
 .  I'm  wanting to  check  that my  vacumn pipes are  connected up  right.  
I'm wanting to check  where the  pipe  from the  dizzy  connects to  .  And  where the  pipe coming   from  the  back of the  clocks  into the engine bay  connects  to  ..
Hope that  makes  sense  cheers

The one that comes through the bulkhead behind the clocks, is in the photo to the left hand side of the picture just behind the outlet that is sealed off with a green cap.

As for the one from the dizzy, it goes into a plastic T piece after a few centimetres, but not sure after that, if nobody else posts up I will try and have a look tomorrow.

On mine the dissy vac connects to an outlet on the back of the inlet manifold, near the idle adjustment valve.

Yes, as LeeO says just traced it and it does fit just under the idle screw, really difficult to see and take a picture of but here it is curving up with its black outer cover- the clear pipe you can see is the other one heading towards the bulkhead.

And it starts off at distributor into this T Piece.

This one I think feeds the instant MPG meter and gear change light , and the first one mentioned feeds the digital MFA readout I think.

Looks like  my  vacumn pipes are connected up  correctly,  so  maybe  that  valve at  fault  ? 
As the  mpg  needle  moves constantly 
..which  I've  always  understood that it  only  moves  whilst in  5th  gear  ?

Yes it only moves in 5th, so I wonder if there is a wire from the gearbox which lets it know it is in 5th?  Electrics are all wizardry to me though!

Looks like the  connections to the  switch on the gearbox  have been  cut / reconnected. 
I know  there's a  post  about  using  a mk2  switch with  a need to  change the  wires around ,  so  I'm  trying to  find  that  post.  
Think it's  from about  8 years  ago  !
