Engine plumbing

jason meade · #1 25-09-12, 02:09

I am starting to run all my lines/ or want to run them on the 13 cab engine for the fuel and vacuum and all. My question is are there any pdf docs or anything showing the locations and routes that these lines take to go from one side to the other? Mine were all removed or not on it when I picked it up so everything is just a guess, I have searched on here and also tryed to find some good pictures of engines but there dont seem to mbe much .
Can anyone help?

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,

Hi Jason

What part/section of the plumbing are you looking for....

First it's for a Chev 6.....

so what do you need...

Fuel lines....?

Vacuum lines.....?

PVC tubing....?

Wipers......

engine steam line.....

Now a lot of this stuff is illustrated in the MB-C2 and the parts manual...

r on MLU..... or on some fo the Aussie sites.....

others you need to look at civilian Chev shop manauls from the 1950s...

and Phil Waterman has a lot of detailed photos on his site.

So.... can you call them one at a time.....

Fuel is well illustrated on page Q14 of the MB C2

Next......

Now you know why I say you cannot work on a truck without 2 or 3 other spares to look at... and for parts.... books alone do not always answer your ????

don't give up.....

For specifics I or others may have photos in our own computers that we can share.

If I don't have the picture available I can take pics of mine....
