Hey there! Gosh, I hate starting a whole thread for such a silly question. My '94 MTX; I ain't the first guy to work on her. I am replacing some vacuum lines under the hood because dry rot is a thing. I don't know which way the purge valve is supposed to go, if direction matters, or how to test if it even still works. Also the reducer. The little red plastic one.
On to the lines themselves, going to the canister. What size are they? I brought them into work to match them up, looks like maybe 7/16? Unless they are just stretched out where the barbs are. Curious, they look like the same vac lines that run everywhere else. Wouldn't an fuel vapor tank need, ya know, fuel line?
And not really a question but anybody have experience with SHOsource's vacuum kit? I just got the firewall kit and the reducer is WAYYY to big, and not brass as advertised, plus the fuel regulator line tore already.
Ugh, since I'm already going ocd on this I'll ask: Near the TB, is the evap hose supposed to go over, or under the PCV hose? And how 'bout the ignition coil plug? (I know this one is just aesthetics, but like, just play along)
Meh, maybe this was worth a thread
