Vacuum Lines missing...85' Daytona turbo

[ohmookie]

I have an 85' Daytona that doesn't have any vacuum lines on it. The car is drivable; however, it must be "two footed". We want to put the vacuum lines on it as well as an air box hoping that will fix the problem. Does anybody know where I can get the diagram for replacement of the lines? Any help ? ??

Any suggestions on the best place to get a vacuum kit?

The hard plastic lines and vacuum harness is not available, you are going to have to start from scratch.You may want to check a local junk yard and rip the vacuum lines off another vehicle so you have something to start with.You also need the restictors and check valves.
Unfortunatly this is a time consuming process and will require a lot of patience.
You have to go to your local parts supplier and get vacuum tees/connectors, and assorted vacuum line and just start to route the lines.You may be able to get the check valves there also.
If you have a Pep Boys in your area they will have a complete selection of vacuum line and connectors, better than Auto Zone/Advanced Auto.
Do not use washer hose, it is too thin and will collapse, use a high quality, thick walled vacuum line.
I am sure somebody else that has done this will chime in and have some better ideas or another source to get what you need.
Good Luck with the project, any questions do not hesitate to ask.

thanks a bunch for the information. It is a starting point.

4288118 or 4307730 is the EGR hose harness

4241495 or 4300702 is the Vapor hose harness

according to the 85 part book these numbers are on the harnesses but were not serviced as a part you could order.

Since you're starting from scratch, IMO a vacuum block would be best. You can get bulk hard line from Fastenal. I've heard of one person using copper tubing & silicone hoses.

+1

the factory vacuum harness was a cluster@&$#!!!!
If you can actually find one in the boneyard that isn't destroyed from heat and age, you will destroy it trying to remove it, especially if the car has a/c.

Do you need to pass a smog test on that car?

If not, I would just worry about the basics.
Once you eliminate the canister purge and the egr systems, the diagram looks less intimidating.

Read about Grainger valves and the diagram becomes even simpler:





BTW... You gotta leave the wires going to the solenoids hooked up or the computer will get pissed.
