hi guys,

my dad has a 1962 t-bird that we have been doing some restoration work on.it has been fully stripped on the body and freshly repainted.sadly then a piston ring broke up so we have had the engine fully rebuilt.we are now putting the engine etc all back in now and have come across something that is confusing us......

the gearbox didnt really change gear properly although it was driveable- we have now found that there should be a pipe attatched to it for some sort of vaccum actuator which was never attatched.
on the inlet manifold we have a t-piece which both pipes of different diameters both fed to the brake booster,at the same place-the smaller diameter pipe has some sort of one-way valve fitted to it.

does anyone know which is the correct way to pipe up the vaccum pipes to the servo(booster) and the gearbox.also we have a metal box on the o/s inner wing with no pipes attatched to it but we have found a pipe going into the cabin through the bulkhead that may have fitted onto it-maybe power locks? if so,should it be fed from the vaccum from the engine/inlet manifold.


hope this makes some sort of sense to someone who can shed some light on it for us....any pics/diagrams would be of great help

thanks
