The "bimetal sensor" on mine is broken so I was not getting any warm air. Until I can find a new one, I wired it in the open position and stuffed a dish towel in the fresh air intake side for the winter. I can't remember where the vacuum line hooks in but I'll check when I get home and tell you if someone else doesn't beat me to it. I think it goes from the sensor to the underneath of the air cleaner on the passenger side where there are two "outlets." The other outlet plugs into your vacuum source.
: '73 v8 302. Have Chilton.
: Problem: there is no vacuum line coming off of the bimetal sensor in the breather that actvates the door in the snorkel to allow heated air into the breather. I'm pretty sure it won't open without a vacuum source.
: The only reference I have found shows the hose exiting the breather, and states "to vacuum source". I have hunted and dont see any unused ports or capped hoses, other than the EGR which I did.
: Question: where should I route the other end of this line? Didn't ford have a specific connection?
