70 Air Grabber Q's - 08/16/09 12:59 PM
I've got a couple of questions as I try and clean up the air grabber install of a previous owner.
1 - I bought a vaccum can and was wondering where the factory mounted these on a 70 Roadrunner. 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

The vacuum canister should be on the firewall near the heater hoses. I'll go take a pic and post it in a few minutes. 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.

Okay!! Excellent info and pic. Is the can mounted level across the top or is it tilted down on the driver side?
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

The hoses come thru just above the heater hoses and the vaccumn jug set down to the left of the heater hoses. 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! Ronnie in Okla. 70 Purple 340 Swinger 70 Lemon Twist AirGrabber RoadRunner
