I've seen pics of them up by the horn and also back by the firewall. 2 - what is the electric solenoid for wired in series with the manual vaccum switch??? What is it's function? Thanks Dennis 70 Roadrunner almost ready to come off the rotisserie

The solenoid's purpose is to cause the air grabber to close when you turn off the ignition. I unhooked mine so the air grabber will stay open during car shows.

So the solenoid benefit is only if you have the grabber open when you shut off the car. It swaps the vaccum when keyed off. Hmm, not sure I'll use it. Where did you get the diagram? Maybe there are other good ones!! Thanks Dennis 70 Roadrunner almost ready to come off the rotisserie

There should be 2 dimples stamped into the firewall. That is where the holes get drilled. Sheetmetal screws are used to fasten the vacuum canister to the firewall. I think there is also a dimple for the grommet that the hoses go through.

It should be easy to see where they go if they aren't drilled yet. The hoses have to run from the inside out so the grommet will work. Good Luck!

It was on the car when I got it and since it works, I never changed it. Dave Dave
