1981 351M Vacuum lines
I recently picked up this '81 and got under the hood. I noticed it's been de-smogged and looks like a lot of vacuum lines are missing. Does anyone have one that could post some pictures of the lines running from the thermostat housing, and any other that might be important? It would be a big help after I do a rebuild of the motor and C6 trans. I'll get a few pictures up myself in the next hour or so.

You only need about 3 hoses:
1- hose from carb to the dist. for vacuum advance.
2- hose to power brake booster
3- hose to the HVAC control if you have factory AC
So if you don't have AC or power brakes you would only have 1 hose.
BTW my 81 with a 300 six only has 3 vacuum hoses, it has factory AC & power brakes.

And being a 351M the best thing you could to it is source a 400 crank and convert it to a 400.
