I have a service manual, but does not have vacuum diagrams etc for carbs, and A/C hose diagrams. Does anyone have these or know where I can purchase them?

 

Andrew,

You are NEW, so welcome. Please do your intro in the new member area when time permits, it keeps all the moderators warm and fuzzy.

I have all that stuff somewhere in my library. I am looking for fuel return drawings for a '74 V12 for someone else, and when I find that, the vac drawings will be in the same folder.

I will scan and post them here as soon as I can.

Work gets in the way sometimes, must retire again soon I reckon haha.

 

Retire???? I've done it twice. Although, no longer earning income, there is still more than enough "stuff' to keep me busy!! Includes, business consultant to two self employed kids. Gardener, housekeeper, maintenance man, etc.

I too, have a huge collection of Jaguar lore. Organization is loose at best!!

A lot of cars have a vacuum hose schematic in the form of a decal under the bonnet/hood. Don't know about the car in question. Sometimes, just staring at a beast and delving out the functions and how they are accomplished gets one to where one wants to be.

And just a generic on line search develops marvels that continue to astound me. Example, a video on various repair techniques for my malfunctioning clothes dryer. Did one, one function restored. One to go.

Found manual for my old orphan TroyBilt Chipper shredder. And, a forum with fixes. One lead to my repowering it. Better than it's current models that use the name only and no resemblance to the original design. At least 1/4 invested of the cost of a similar but inferior device.

Flush with recent victory, I passed my driver test.

Andrew,

Been off the air, the laptop had a hissy, seriuos crash. Had it all backed up, or so I thought, so all is GONE, BUGGA.

Much JD consumed the last 48 hours, trust me.

Up and running, sort of, but I cannot find the files for you I want, so I will have to search the shed and find the hard copies when I get time this week.

My apologies.

Glad the guy with the broken V12 flatbedded here yesterday is not in a hurry, HAHA.

Carl,

Yep, I miss Jaguar Parts Management like a hole in the head. Part time now with an aftermarket "hard parts" mob, suits me just fine. VIN numbers mean absolutely squat, thank goodness.

 

No worries. Anyone else happen to have this?

 

Here ya go.

It shows "typical" schematics of the carby plumbing.

I cannot find ignition vac lines in detail, and since they vary soooooo much with varying markets, I really have never seen any that are correct for the car you actually have in front of you, and that has been a lot of V12's.

A/c hoses, no got. Simple charge and discharge lines, either with or without cooler. I eliminate the cooler in all mine.

Misery loves company. A ransome virus got into my ACER desktop. In my efforts to vanish it, i vanished myself from the internet on that unit!!
Oh, well, no biggie, it cost me 50.00 busks off craigslist. Was always a bit quirky, but faster than this old Dell.

Will i go to the DSL tech to get back, mebbe, another day.
