Hello, I just got a 1964 C10, 230 six, i found the rubber vacuum advance line broken off and I can't seem to find where it goes, the only vacuum line I see is for the PCV valve. Any ideas?
Thanks, Alan

There should be a connection at the base of the carburetor. Some are in the front and some are behind where it may be hard to see.

If it has a Roch. model B carb ther is a 1/8 in. pipe thread hole on the valve cover side that should have a fitting in it. The hose or tube attaches to the fitting.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Let me try to clarify what George was explaining. The fitting is on the carburetor throat above where it bolts to the intake manifold. It faces the valve cover so it's hard to see. If you have the model B carburetor, I believe the vacuum line was hard lined to the carburetor with a threaded fitting. Since you mentioned HOSE, you may have a hose bib in the same location.
