'46 V8 Ignition vacuum line
2 PART QUESTION, first ............ During reass'y of my engine rebuild I've missed placed the bolt used in the banjo end that attaches to the top ledge of the intake manifold, at the base of the carb, both intake and carb are stock '46 pieces.
Trying to source out the bolt I found that the steel vacuum line its self is sold out at suppliers and no one is reproducing it and the bolt was never been reproduced. Attached Ive made a sketch of what I think the bolt should be. If you have one of these bolts could you verify my dimensions or it you have a '46 could you remove the bolt and compare my dimensions. In exchange for verifying my dimensions with the actual bolt Im willing to provide the person with 2 bolts mailed no-charge to you as spares for you. second .......... Pictures that I took at the time I took the engine apart and stored on computer got lost during a computer crash so dont have anything. Am thinking the vacuum source for the windshield wipers should come off this same point at the top of the intake manifold, base of carb, is this not right ?? |

Re: '46 V8 Ignition vacuum line
I bought a banjo bolt like the one you drew a picture of, just can't remember where. I think what I did was to google "banjo fitting", clicked on images and just scrolled thru them till I found a picture that looked like what I wanted. (like this

Re: '46 V8 Ignition vacuum line
If you need a banjobolt they are available at hydraulic suppliers...thread is same as for a JIC hydraulic connection.
But as stated above its a more complex fitting made from diecast and sheetmetal original. |

Re: '46 V8 Ignition vacuum line
This site is absolutely amazing, thanks GaryU, yes, am talking with Kube, thanks again. Wondering exactly what it does, am sure I didn't remove one of those gizmos but my wipers did work so there had to be something in there, have the steel vac line and its shape connects to the timing cover and meets the intake base ?? Having lost all my pictures really sucks, I now back up everything on a removable stick and even copy it to a 2nd one, thanks again.

Re: '46 V8 Ignition vacuum line
My '47 has what GaryU shows .... the metal ring with the steel tube attached. My metal ring fitting has a thin soft compressible brass washer each side of the ring to make it air-tight. I had to re-solder my tube connection because the solder had fractured from too much bending.
