There are different style pumps -- some with hard fittings and others with hoses. Here is one picture from the 51 training manual showing some vacuum routing and the hard connection. Don't know which side your in and out is but maybe you can get an idea of the height. Kev might have a better picture of the long tube.

The tubing I remember has no fittings. Just 1/4" steel straight back to the end of block and 1/4" or probably slightly smaller 7/32 ID rubber vacuum hose which just slips on a few inches. The one at engine rear doesn't need to be very long. Just enough to allow the engine to rock a bit and make the turn to the other piece of tubing. Try and get vacuum hose if you can. The walls are thick & stiff so it won't collapse, but not reinforced so slips on easier & usually a bit cheaper than fuel hose.

Thanks BigKev,

Mine is missing the short rubber hose from the pump to the line along the block. Mine was just threaded directly into the pump.

Anyone have pics of the setup so I know how long the rubber hoses should be? Pics of the fittings going to the rubber hose would help too.

I tried the parts book but I didn't see anything showing the lines.

Unfortunately there is no specific good way to bring up all the pictures on a specific subject as the search engine here on the website is only searching the text of the posts in the forum, and has no sense of the picture content.

You can use the search bar to return a list of posts that match particular words or phrases.

Some of the blogs are quite long and contain 100s of excellent photos. How do I search for a specific subject or photo when the blog covers many pages.
I like to copy photos to my laptop for access when I am at my shop where I have no internet connection.
Really appreciate your CD project. Storing all that info on a laptop takes up a lot of space.

Thanks again,
Lowell

Thanks, Howard. There are no windows in the car, yet. Two doors don't close all the way. The throttle sticks. The overdrive didn't kick in. Wipers aren't in and rubber on runningboards not on. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

So far I missed the wedding, missed the 5th anniversary, and miss an important birthday. So the next thing to miss is Pebble Beach on the 17th.

Pump > short rubber hose > metal line along the length of the block > short rubber hose > metal line up the firewall > rubber line > wiper motor.

Ken,

Believe firewall colour should same as body colour. Saying that, I painted mine black!

I've said before, early drivers were made of sterner stuff. Just think, you could lift up a real "floor" board in some cars and watch the road go by, have gasoline a foot or so in front of you in cars where the cowl was part of the gas tank, actually sit inches above an engine only covered with wood and hope nothing caught fire in real early cars, have ordinary plate glass keeping the wind or anything else out of your face, and any number of other exciting little things no one gave any thought about before NTSB and the like came along..

Well, just don't let Kev hear you say that about his Clipper.

Well, if you're in a hurry I suppose, you could hook them up to a vibrator, (no comment) but I think if you just soak them (completely covered with oil in a small pan, like an ice cube tray) they'll fill up fine. Other opinions may vary. Use at your own risk.
