AMC 360 Carb

StewartCJ7 · 01-10-2008, 01:41 PM

I am putting a rebuilt stock carb on a 1986 rebuild AMC360. I don't know where some of the hoses go. Wondering if anybody can post pics of running/connected carb... it is a motorcraft.

thanks

Assuming you have already consulted the factory manual for the correct vacuum hose routing, there are really only 2 or 3 hoses that you NEED. The others are for emmissions, go to vacuum switches, etc.
There are 2 types of vacuum, manifold vacuum and ported vacuum. The "ported" connection on a Motocraft 2bbl is passenger side, the highest one on that side. That goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor.

The only other one you need is the big one on the back of the carb. That goes to the PCV valve. If you have power brakes, a third line needs to go to the brake booster, but make that one a manifold vacuum.

Plug the rest, unless you need to keep the charcoal canister and then you will need to consult the factory manual.
