Re: [DML] Changing out vacuum hoses ---> Thermal Vacuum Switch --where exactly is it?



Just an update to my query...

With a little help, I now realize where the Thermal Vacuum Switch 
exactly was.  Will require me to remove the air induction / fuel 
distributor assembly to complete the vacuum hose renewal.  Saving this 
for the end of the driving season, since I have my D running pretty good 
right now.  I plan on doing a little TLC "while I am in there"... clean 
up the valley of death, replace the Thermal Vacuum Switch, who knows 
maybe even renew the fuel lines from the distributor with those nifty 
stainless braided ones...
