    The PO had mutilated the gas and vacuum line on the F134 at some point, so I got the line kits from Walcks (Engine Vacuum Line Kit CJ3B, CJ5, CJ6) and they seem to have pretty good pics for running it. But it shows running between the exhaust manifold and block using a couple clips attached to the manifold bolts. Any one know where to get those vacuum line clips?

    Next, the gas line kit has a flexible hose with fittings as part of it. Where does that go?

    I've look thru the FSM but can't find any drawings.

    Typically, the short rubber hose attaches to the end of the steel line, in the engine bay and then is attached to the fuel pump. The clips? Can't help you.

    Still trying to find the clips for the line that runs behind the exhaust manifold. I bought these from KaiserWilly (Vacuum Wiper Line Clip (closed style) Fits 50-52 M38) and drilled out the bolt hole to fit the 3/8 exhaust studs, but it tucks the vacuum line up too close to the manifold to be able to fit. Assuming the line has the proper bend, the clips need to be lower. Since Walcks has pics of it fitting, I'm assuming the bend is right. Carl is of no help on the clips. Seems to me that if selling a kit, it should have included the clips. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to make my own.
