  • Vacuum lines setup and Crankcase ventilation

    We are in the process of restoring my 1961 WM300 with a 251 engine.

    We are basically starting form scratch with most items including new brake system, new fuel lines, new wiring, new set of gaskets on the engine, new exhaust, etc.

    The project is going pretty well but we are trying to get the engine running smoothly. The previous person working on the truck pulled all of the vacuum lines out and really struggling trying locate where some of these should be plugged.

    Does anyone have a general breakdown of where these hoses should go and plug some of the vacuum lines?

    Also, does anyone have a good reference or photos for the crankcase ventilation and how it is routed.

    I would not expect many vacuum lines to be on that truck. Perhaps a PCV valve and a vacuum advance? Does it have a vacuum advance distributor?

    Why is it that the inside of old truck cabs smell so good?

      Does someone here have a parts book image they can scan and post, or mail to me and I will post? I am unable to look here for a few days.

        Hi Gordon,

        Thank you for your note yes, it does have a vacuum advance distributor.

        I appreciate anyone's insight, advice or photos.

        Thanks
        JT
