ok, i have a 85 gs that ive removed the rats nest and stripped the carb and converted it to mechanical seconderies. the questions is im wanting to hook the cruise controll back up but im not sure where to put the vacumm line for it to work like it should, i have search but didnt find anything in a thread. thanks for any help in advance.

 

Is it an aftermarket cruise control, or OE?

I'd just plug it in any of the four vacume ports on the driver's side of the nikki. If it works.. OK.. If it don't... find another hole

 

yes its the factory cruise, you mean the ports on the canb spacer under the carb? ive heard that the 2nd port from the front on that spacer goes to the vacumm advance, i was just kinda affaid i might screw it up if i hooked it up to the wrong port.

 

It won't permanatly damage the vacume advancer if its stuck in the wrong port. I could be mistaken (I haven't looked at my Nikki in a while), but I belive there are only strait on vacume ports. I don't think there are any at an angle.


Shoot, I'm using an Edlebrock carb and it seems to advance ignition fine.

 

See if this helps.

It needs to be on a manifold vacuum source. I'll try to remember to check tonight. It's actually very easy, just find the port it was on on the rats nest hard pipe rail, and follow it to it's respective hole on the carb vacuum plate.

Looks like the furthest forward port (towards front of engine.)

 

The first port tee's off many times, you could use the third and forth port which connect to the back rotor however, keeep in mind that the shutter valve turns that rotor off when deceling, so if you were declerating but then you wanted to speed back up you'd have to give it a little gas to get vacuum flowing to that back rotor and have cruise work...

 

ok i put it on the front port on the carb spacer closest to the radiator, and drove it to tenn. from my home in sc for vacation and it worked great thanks again guys. i really didnt want to mess it up mostly since its the ol' ladys car lol
