Willie Wurke Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Be sure your mechanic replaces the short piece of rubber fuel line in front of the carburetor. It is a fire hazard when it ages! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a rusty vacuum tank (looks like a tomato juice can painted black). Could be a rubber vacuum hose the size of a pencil, dried out hardened and cracked or just pulled loose. Could be a failed diaphragm in the vacuum motor. Bad control switch etc. Doors should close when you start the engine, if the system is sealed perfect like new will stay closed for a week. If there is a leak they will open when you shut off the engine, how fast they open tells how big the leak is. It is important to fix the vacuum leak(s) ASAP, if it does prove to be a leaker. Air-borne dust is being sucked into the engine as its unfiltered. Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with someone today who has worked on these cars with my father and was able to give me a lot of background info. He said it was running, as all the cars and even the loose V8 engines he has did, when it was put in the garage for storage. So any dust would have been accumulated in storage to date.

victorialynn2 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just waiting for my guy to put the new battery and solenoid in. I've already got my road trip vehicle, (2015 Tundra TRD - we've gone Tx-Or multiple times), but you are welcome to buy this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
