3TC - Dead weight?
Car - Te72
motor - 3TC
use - daily
problem - want to clean up engine bay / loose some dead weight
And cant find an engine manual!
occurs/started when - yesterday when i was having a poke around
personal situation - okay firstly, anyone even familiar with 3tc's? lol.
Theres 2 extra belts coming off the main belt
one drives the air con
and another drives something else - which is what im trying to figure out completely. One pipe runs to the carb throat, and another pipe runs through some valve and back up to the intake (before filter)
can i just remove pump, belt, lines and plug all the holes?
or does the carb need this assembly for pressure equalising or something??
ta, blair.
more info cant hurt!
the "other" pump... is actually belt driven from just teh aircon.
Its not even off the main belt
so surely its not important... right? lol.
i took the belt off and all seemed to run fine... didnt actually drive it tho cause i dont want the belt to catch in the fan or something
here goes!
Take a picture to be sure, but it's probably an air pump man. Lots of cars around that era have one.
If so, do exactly as you plan to. Remove and plug holes.
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
will do in the light tomorrow.
whats the purpose of an air pump, if a carby isnt forced induction, its all suck? lol.
or am i thinking to simply?
From memory:
They are like a PCV system but slightly more effective. They draw the crankcase gasses out and put them back into the inlet tract to be re-burned.
Silly stuff.

thats pretty much how it was going down in my head after tracing the pipes etc.
out she comes lol
so its almost just pollution related?
absolutely.
Make sure your crankcase gasses can escape somewhere though.

T18 in the build
ok now im worried! dont use the phrase block off
then the phrase make sure its still vented

After reading the title I was going to answer: Usually yes, though they do get them to run 8s in Peurto Rico.
