All,
I know this topic has been talked about a lot on here. After reading all that I can find, I cant find specifics on how to route the lines after removing the air pump.
I haven't removed the pump yet; that's my plans for tonight. I just hope I can get a wrench to the three bolts securing the mount. I remember that I too could not get the long pivot bolt out years back before college hit. I don't want to cut the bolt as I like making everything I do reversible. I know the pump is nonfunctional on account that it is not connected with a v-belt (condition as purchased). I believe the pulley on it or the water pump is not correct since it is out of line. My belief is that the water pump is incorrect as it only has a single pulley.
Once it's out, where do I reroute the large hoses to and from the pump? The line from the pump to the canister has a T connection to a smaller hose connecting to the left side of the DATRA carb. Should that just be plugged or open to the air since there isn't a vaccuum held there anyways(?). I would like to keep the carbon canister because I want to keep everything that doesn't affect the hp output. The current hoses don't appear molded to shape as is but a replacement from the canister to the air filter housing would require a 180 degree bend in order to connect to the air filter.
I have plenty more questions regarding the system but will ask them as the project progresses.
An engine bay image can me seen in my first post introducing my X.
Thanks,
