Mystery hardline

Featured Replies

What year is your Z? Assuming it was imported from America to you, is it a Federal or California car? California had stricter emissions standards in the late 70s.

That T in the first picture looks like my '77 280's vacuum advance that goes to the canisters yellow dot, the advance module and the nipple at the front of the throttle blade.  The second picture looks like a line on my 240's vacuum block under the coil.  I can get pictures later today when I'm home from work.

I'm wondering what model, like Steve says above.

That small port? (yes, thats a zx body, but the small one underneath  the main inlet?

yeah, I can in a little while.

And now I know where that hardline is from.  That's the coolant line that goes around the front of the head to the water pump.  I had one that was attached to the heating plate.  It started at the thermostat housing, then heating plate, then around the head to the bottom radiator hose connector.  That's it in your circle.

Yes, there.  the vacuum advance, then the canister.

Nothing goes onto this white nipple.  And that's the hardline at the top of your circle. :)

It looks like the one that goes around the front of the cylinder head.  I deleted all that stuff in 2011, sorry for my mistake.

Do you think it's vacuum or coolant?  Being metal I'd think coolant but the rubber hose doesn't have a clamp so it could be vacuum???
