Dawes fitment check please...

The vacuum canister you mean? Try putting the canister back in and see if the hiss is still there....You need to eliminate this out of the equation before you start any more trouble shooting. Sorry for the late reply. Even pm me if you dont hear from me.

I will try and put it back in thanks for the advise I will let you know how I go

This is the diagram you need to go by if installing the needle valve.

So basically you will only have one line coming from the air resonator, next to the air filter housing, going into one side of the needle valve and the other side tee's into the vacuum side of the Dawes. Then you need to block off all three vac ports on the solenoid.
Hope this helps.

Edit : I bought my needle valve from Dependable distributors in Adelaide too. Mine leaks though, with the radio off and the car at idle you can hear a hissing sound coming from it. All the fittings are tight, the leak is coming from the centre section on the valve. I pressure tested it in water and does not leak, but under vacuum, it leaks. So I'm am wondering if this valve is designed for vacuum. My guess that it's not. Plus, I can wind my valve all the way in or out and it make sweet f.a difference. Because of the leak I believe. Jut one of the many things on my list to get around fixing.

have a look here steve

Once you get to know the names of whats whats it will become a lot clearer.
If you need a hand you can pop over my way

An old relic this one lol

Yes I needed a bit of help. Kevin 07 came to my aid. Thanks Kev. Mudski supplied me a Dawes and needle valve kit, plus egr blank. My problem is some body ( who installed my power module) had bypassed the Air box resonator completely, hence my confusion at the diagram.

Oh by the way, this vacuum dampener. is it important?

Put the dampener on the line from the vacuum pump. When using the needle valve you need to plumb into the air resonator box too.

Can you point me to "Chaz's" post so I am better informed before I start the NADS process. Thanks

To Kevin07 and Mudski. Thanks guys, fitted dawes and needle this afternoon. Took about an hour or 2 beers in the old scale. Will fine tune tomorrow before beer o'clock.
