Default What is the 2nd vaccum line on the back of the intake?

I just installed my polished Weiand last night. The whole motor is polished, I'll post pics when I can.

There is the big vaccum line that goes to the brake booster, there is another tiny one that the book says goes to a vaccum switch. What is that line going to? Does anyone know? Thanks.

maybe to your hvac controls...

i believe the motors used to direct the air in the vents are vacuum motors. they use an engine vacuum as a source. that is my only idea.

that is correct. It comes off the back of the intake over to the passenger side where there is a vacuum Tee, one side of the Tee goes to the HVAC harness, the other side of the Tee goes to a vacuum canister under the front right frame rail.

So everything polished, have you coated any of the polished parts or are you leaving them in the polished bare condition????

I don't have the cash flow to buy the Zoop seal kit right now. If you have a cell phone that can take pictures I can sen d you a pic.

When I get a lil extra ching I'll spring for the Zoop. I heard it doesn't work well at high temps though.

It is your HVAC vacuum controls. When I did my cam swap in January that line slipped off and I had no vents, only defrost. Ran a vacuum check on the system and saw it wasn't holding vacuum. Once I felt around and looked for a broken line I found that one unplugged. Plugged it back in and all was well. It should connect on the passenger side
