    i hate to jump on this thread with such a dumb question, but hey, i have no shame. where does the vac line hook up to. i got my wiper unit freed up and cleaned the dirt dobber junk out of the hookup, but i don't see a free port on carb or intake manifold. i looked in the manual but didn't see a section for the wipers- might have missed it though.

    what car are you asking about. the '34/'35's had a port on the aft side of the intake manifold.
    later model car owners will chime in, but i believe the later cars will tap off the intake manifold or the vacuum port on the dual action fuel pump for the vacuum source.

    sorry, i should have included that info. it's a 52 308. i have a temp electric fuel pump on it i will check the old one i saved it to get it rebuilt someday. if it was on the intake, i sure never noticed it.

    A port on the cast iron base of the carburetor. If it was not being used there will be a pipe plug.

    Super-six - the port in the base of the carb. is for the vacuum advance line to the dist. Tiger mouth is right. Norm

    herm- Yes, you're right. I had my mind set on a Twin-H, with two carburetors, using one for the wipers. I didn't recall a port on the manifold.

    ha! checked the old fuel pump and found the fitting with a little of the rubber hose still on it! i will get this changed back some day so i will be able to use the wipers.
