Re: Columbia tube routing beneath hood '36 Ford
The copper pipe from the under the carb vacume adaptor go's back level with
the engine and back about 3/4's the length of head takes a gentle curve up to
the manual shift valve. The shift valve is mounted with about 1 1/2" space
above it with the overhang of the cowl. The cooper tubes that run back to the
shift cylinder on the rear run across the top of the firewall to the passenger side
and take a sharp downward curve to down where the body mounts to the frame.
And then over to the torque tube and back to the shift cylinder. The tubs are
held to the torque tube with band type clips. The clips are about 1" wide and go
around the the torque tube. The material is less then 16 gauge. I think there
are 3 of them. they are bent out on both ends with holes for 14"/20 nut, bolt and
lock washer. I have a 36 roadster, Bambalina Blue that was delivered to the dealer
with the rear installed. I am the third owner. If you get to Florida you can take
pictures and even drive it. G.M.
