Vacuum lines
The last thing I need to do on my 223 before it is running is hook up the vacuum lines, but I can't remember where everything goes. I have a port on the intake, one on the distributor, and two ports on top of the fuel pump(are these vacuum?) How should the vacuum lines be hooked up and does it make a difference where on the intake I get vacuum for the wipers?
The obvious answer I get a lot is that I need a shop manual and that is right. However, I have come this far without one and now my stubborness isn't going to let me buy one in the last month of the restoration.

the two ports on top of the fuel pump are for vacuum.... your windshiel wiper line runs from the intake manifold to the pump..then from the pump to the wiper motor...vacuum line from distributor runs to the carburator...this one is important, 223's have no centrifical advance and depend 100 percent on vacuum, with out it she won't run very well...hope that helps
