I deleted every vacuum assisted system on my 84 besides the brakes and fuel regulators/damper. Capped off everything I removed which obviously included the air pump and a/c
Rudy, I hate making comments after the event. Just looked at my wiring diagram, all eight injectors are in parallel so if I have to go this way, I think a complete replace of the harness to the injectors might be easier, certainly nice to not be battling brittle plastic!
I didn’t mention it in the video, but Roger also offers a pig tailed version that you don’t have to re-pin. That might be a mid level option versus a full blown harness. After all that work, my shark is running very well, so it’s worth the effort in the end.
Quick search on the internet everyone says check for vacuum at the modulator if shifting hard, I suppose you could just run another line instead of digging around up inside the torque tube etc if there is no vacuum there at the modulator... Someone said smoke test it you will find your leaks below...
Nice work.
Thank you for watching and for commenting!

Manual Transmission swap! lol

Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards doing. The key is routing a replacement vacuum line far enough way from what is a very hot exhaust system.
The vac pipe goes right back to the transmission, I seem to recall a hassle with a section of rubber hose buried by the torque tube, well aft.
Use a smoke machine for the vacuum leak…
Good call - I may have to if I don't find anything obvious.
