Need help with a 1987 Shelby Z

[ShelbyZT2]

Help!!!

Is there anyone who can help me with a problem I have. My 87 Shelby Z has had some work done (Head work) prior to me buying the car and now I am trying to fix someone else's mix ups. I have found the online vacuum routing diagram but would like to have a photo of an original factory hose connection setup. I would like to see how the full pressure regulator and other vacuum lines were connected for reference.

Also, does anyone know what size the C clip is that holds the waste gate actuator arm to the waste gate. Mine was missing and the arm was disconnected when I bought the car.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Phil

I lost the E clip on my wastegate too, I just ran it without the clip, it didnt fall off...but then i upgraded to the 3" swingvalve, and its impossible for it to fall off now..haha because its so close to the intake manifold... so just pop it on, dont worry about it, if it falls off again it wont cause any damage, just loss of boost... And If you really studdy the vacuum diagram, its not THAT hard to understand the fuel pressure regulator has a line running to it directly from the vacuum block (from the intake manifold), any other specific vacuum lines, just ask on here or PM me, we can do our best, because i dont think a picture will be that easy to follow all the lines.

Thanks Foxmxrcer,

I am interested in seeing how dodge originally ran the line from the PCV to the intake. Also, The line attached to my wastegate actuator is tied into the port on the throttle body which is different than what the factory vacuum diagram shows.

Tha factory "vacuum block" is the biggest POS in my opinion...normally, since yours/my car is 20yrs old, theyre brittle... mine snapped when i looked at it wrong..I recomend an aluminum one from turbos unleashed, or somewhere. Factory it was basically a bunch of plastic tubes running from each part, then they all joined up back behind the intake manifold. As for the wastegate, On mine it runs from the WG, to the WG solenoid, and then to the vacuum block, But I think on my friends CSX, since he has it running to the TB as well, but he also has a boost controller, and I dont. So if you want it hooked up to factory spec, run it to the solenoid, its the middle one on the passenger side fender
