I think I have the vacuum line to the automatic transmission in this place. Mine just looks somewhat different...

[Delvis]

Thank you. I suspected it might be vacuum line.  Yours looks like the diagram on the SLS page. Mine must have been replaced at some point. Thank you. Ps. Great looking engine bay!

Thanks!
But still a lot of incorrect things...

Intake manifold vacuum hard line (to somewhere). Follow it to it's origin.

Thought the vacumn line to the transmission was a banjo fitting with a large bolt with hollowed out core and holes with two crush(copper/aluminum) washers.
Maybe this was modified?

And this is a strong reminder, why we should picture and document all the bits in any disassembly phase.
So we can avoid these questions.  This will save time and hassle later on during reassembly.
Hope you will take pictures of your next project Delvis.

Hi Walter.

thank you for the note.  totally agree with the pictures and documentation. I've just started to clean-up some of the cosmetic and mechanical items. the car is new to me (18 months) and i'm still learning the good, bad and ugly. your reply, plus the reference picture Pawel66 are both very helpful.

i will be posting photos of the trunk floor rebuild soon.

thank you. now i get to build me next shopping list.

cheers.

Devlin.
