outlawrx 09-06-2010, 10:57 AM hello everyone I'm new to the forum and need some help. i just bought a 81 el camino with a 231 v6 and im trying to restore it to pass smog. I can't find the vacuum diagram for this car any where and was hoping someone here could help me out. thanks!! goodcruiser 09-06-2010, 11:55 AM If nothing else try your local Library a lot of them have service manuals and will let you copy the page for a small fee. I have a Chilton and it shows one for 1982 and I don't know if it is the same for 1981! outlawrx 09-06-2010, 12:16 PM thanks i think i got it except for this one part. its by the pass side fender and its a bendix part# 1620213 and i have no idea what this is or where the vac hose goes to as it has no hose conected to it. does yours have this? goodcruiser 09-06-2010, 02:42 PM I believe what your talking about is the MAP sensor. I forgot to ask do have an emissions sticker on the radiator shroud if so that may have the vacuum diagram on it like mine does.From there it's a matter of indentifing what sensor is what. I would down load a picture but my connection speed is so slow most pictures will time out before their done sorry. That sticker should be right on the top driverside of the shroud. outlawrx 09-06-2010, 05:18 PM thanks I found the sticker. I think one is a map sensor from what the sticker shows but I don't think its the right one for this car. Also right next to it is another part thats identical except for the part# but no hose is connected to it. i have attached two pics I took. if you have any ideas i would really appreciate it. thanks http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af206/outlawrx/IMG_0860.jpghttp://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af206/outlawrx/IMG_0861.jpg goodcruiser 09-06-2010, 06:26 PM I'm sitting here looking at a Chilton manual #28440 and on page 4-32 is a drawing that shows what looks a lot like both of those and the connectors are listed as the MAP sensor is connnected to the red connector and the blue connector is connected to the BARO sensor. Does this help? JJLT1 09-07-2010, 02:44 AM welcome being an early CA car,,it may not look right,,it does look original... iirc,,the baro dosnt connect to anything,,but wait for the x-perts... check and see if the dirt dobbers have a home in there...:texas: outlawrx 09-07-2010, 06:07 PM Ok so baro is not connected to anything then cool. Thanks for the help!! Im gonna go buy that chiltons manual it looks like it comes in handy. | ||
