Pic Of 327 W/Powerglide Vac Line....

[Michael H.]

Would anyone happen to have a pic of a 66 or 67 327 engine showing the PowerGlide vacuum steel modulator line and dipstick tube routing/position as they pass under the distributor shielding? Trying to help a neighbor and I've only owned a few PG cars in my whole life so I'm not famaliar with this. I believe the mod line has a "whoop" in it just before it goes back toward the coil??? Thanks,

Michael

Michael. As luck would have it, I just solved that problem on my '67 PG car this weekend. None of the repro shops (paragon/corvette central) sell these steel tubes. I took my old one and rebend a matching new one to conform to the old profile. If that interests you, I'll shoot a photo and email it to you. Please provide me with your email address.

You've helped me plenty in the past, so I'm glad to reciprocate.
Best to you.

Hi Mike:

Here's a photo of how I installed mine on my 67 after having everything apart and being in the same spot you are. I studied the AIM and some photos in the Nolad Adams book and the Dobbins book, but I'm still not 100% sure this is correct. However, there does seem to be an intentional bend that fits nicely around the dipstick tube. It fits less well if I route the line on the other side of the dipstick tube.

I'll be interested to hear from others whether this looks correct....
