It must be connected to a full-time vacuum source such as the intake manifold.
breather vent on top of tyranny is open to air the only vacuum hose that's hooked up is shift modulator to constant vacuum on manifold
Straight-most use the same manifold fitting as the brake booster & not the carb.
A vacuum modulator is used to apply pressure to the throttle valve. The modulator senses the pressure from the manifold and increases when the engine is under a heavier load.
A manifold vacuum source, anywhere below the throttle plates.
On the 440T4 Automatic Overdrive transaxle the modulator is on the front of the case, A vacuum line leads to it from the intake manifold.
Assuming you mean the modulator on an automatic transmission... The modulator help to control the timing of the changing of gears in the tansmission. The modulator uses manifold vacuum to finetune the shift point, lower vacuum means higher load, throttle is open wider, shift point will be delayed.
Jack up and support the rear of the car to minimize fluid loss. Remove vacuum hose from modulator. Remove bolt and retaining clip from under modulator. Remove modulator by pulling straight out. Install new modulator with new o-ring, replace clip and bolt and vacuum hose.
It's a constant source such as the intake manifold or the base of the carburetor.
Any constant source would be fine. Straight off the manifold, or the throttle body of the carb would work.
The transmission does not have a vacuum modulator.The transmission does not have a vacuum modulator.
No because this will not be the proper signal from manifold vacuum that tells the transmission what kind of throttle position and load the engine is under.
It needs to be attached to a full time vacuum source such as a port on the intake manifold.
