Does anyone have a 1979 vacuum hose diagram?
Vacuum hoses 76 1/2 to 78: is the latest I can find
Thank you

1979 Federal is the same as the other SVDAs.
1979CA is a little different as it is a DVDA and the retard side of the distributor only has vacuum at idle.

Incidentally, I've been looking at vacuum lines recently, and I modified the original vacuum hose routing diagram with DVDA distributor for my '79 Federal bus, which has a SVDA distributor. It now shows both configurations and I thought I'd share it here.
While at it, I corrected the connections to the filter box and added the small connector hoses and T-pieces for clarity:
As I said, this is based on a '79 FI Federal, but it might apply to more model years.

Hey All,
I am not a mechanic and pretty confused - I am trying to hook up the vacuum and vapour lines for my van and there are so many different diagrams that i don't know which ones to use. I have a 1978 van - it is fuel injected and has an automatic transmission. I don't understand what things like DVDA, SVDA or Federal means - can someone point me in the right direction as to what diagram to follow? Thanks!

Quick question. I know this is an old thread and there is a ton of information here that is a great help. I had to redo the entire vacuum system on my '78 bus and the vapor line hoses as well. On the fuel vapor hose chart, where it comes off of the T with the letter W connection to V then to Y' (not Y), I cannot figure out where that fuel vapor hose is supposed to go? I have looked everywhere and cannot figure it out. I have a cap on it but I would like for it to be exactly like it's supposed to be as my bus is having a hard time idling and if everything is correct then it helps to narrow down the issue which I do believe is in the AFM.

Welcome!
Tank fumes come from both sides (Y' and X), then through that Tee (W) to Y which leads to the charcoal canister beside the RH tail light, if yours are capped off the tank can't vent and may be part of your problem.

Actually, I am connected to the canister correctly and all connections are made correctly except the Y' coming off of the W tee. I don't know where the Y' connects to from there (what point on the engine, etc.?) so the Y' is what is capped. |

Y' should lead across the roof of the compartment to the left side metal vent pipe coming from the air scoop area.
