Engine plumbing

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Jason,

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but it may help. The vacuum line from the cylinder front plate to the manifold has a bend to clear No. 5 plug lead to prevent chafing. Based on another example it seems to be as from the factory.

The fuel line from the pump to the carby is just a straight run with a 90 degee bend into the carby according to the Maintenance Manual. I had to fabricate my own so cannot confirm if the original was any different to that.

The PCV plumbing from the spectacle plate to the front of the intake manifold is also shown.

Also worth noting from the photos: The HT leads that cross over the intake manifold from the opposite conduit (No. 3 and No. 5 lead) were covered for a short length with bitumen impregnated conduit to prevent chafing as shown at No. 5 lead.
I had an original NOS lead as a sample and it confirmed the bitumen conduit was used on those leads.

Please let me know if you need any more specific photos and I will gladly post them for you.

Regards,
