Any one know where to find a vac line that goes from Dist to plate under carb? 1938 ford!!

I tried Google search and found this.

The 38 Ford set up is a metal vacuum line from the distributor to the intake manifold left side, bottom, front. There is a second vacuum port on the intake manifold left, bottom, rear for the vacuum wiper motor. There is not a plate under the Carb. so you will have to either change your set up or improvise. Can you post a photo of what you have? Maybe the intake manifold was changed???

Try Roy Nacewicz, he had one for my 34 5 window coupe.

Here's a picture of the underside of the intake vacuum port. I noticed on mine that the newer gasket material "mushed" into the groove. Ended up putting a small V with a razor blade in the gasket. Not all the way through the gasket mind you.

Tinker, Thanks for the photo and gasket info. I am sure I may have overlooked this.

Hey Joe, It may or may not be an issue. Might just want to blow through the line to see if its clear. It may well be. I guess you could also clean out that channel with a burr slightly. Especially if you've had the intake resurfaced.
