Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

Finally have the motor and transmission back in, but a couple questions before pics:

I have new bands and clutch/friction discs, and an NOS Packard material direct drive disc. Which kind of fluid should i go with?


I'm using the 53's vacuum, fuel pump, and it's plumbed different than mine.

As best i can tell for fuel, the front of the car side of the pump is the outlet to the carb, and the back of the car side of the pump is for fuel inlet. Is that correct?

The vacuum lines are different on this one, mine were compression and there were two, these are vacuum hose fittings (also two). They are parallel to each other on top of the vacuum pump, both facing back. Assuming one is air inlet and one is the outlet? Or are both vacuum? I have one elbow on my manifold, and one line to my vacuum wiper motor.

I THOUGHT that the vacuum wipers went to the manifold, and then also the pump went to the manifold. But then wouldn't the pump be trying to create vacuum in the whole manifold just to help the wipers? Thinking now it wasn't right before. I'll have to hit the parts books and see what i can find :)

I have a compression fitting coming out of the carb base plate that i don't recognize , between the two mixture adjustment screws. Any idea what went there, or maybe the carb rebuilder put it there?!
