Good info for when I install mine

That was my car pictured. The stock line was too short and only lasted about 5 miles of driving. I'd highly recommend a longer vacuum line. I hit 29lbs of boost once but motor seems okay.

So you telling us the motor can take 29lbs of boost....nice!

No.

Just kidding. ..just picked up some 7/32 fuel line . Bit more sturdy than standard vacuum hose.

 

[cdenoma]

Absolutely not. That much boost is extremely harmful.

I think that specific line is at least taped to several other lines (if I remember correctly, maybe not) as it heads toward the actuator. I had plenty of slack to get mine on there with no sharp angles. May be just the way some are braided through.

Replaced my hose this morning and noticed the set nut on the armature was loose....oh shit. Must have forgot to tighten it down while installing.

I can't imagine that armature turning on its own with all that tension

He is talking about the jam nut that holds the clevis in place.

They are wrapped together but they are not supplying each other. They all have their own vac/boost source.

I got u, I'm saying let's assume that lock nut wasn't there, can that thing turn and thread itself up or down with it clamped on with the c clip and all that tension?

It could rotate inside the canister if it was ever free floating.

Gotcha! Yea I assumed it was for holding the position during the Instalation process. Thanks.

 

[Boosting Stangs]

Yup, jam nut. I'm going to go back in to make sure everything is positioned correctly. That damn shield, I hate that shield.
