Hi everyone,

I have a 1986 Chevy G10 Van with a 4.3L 262 Vortec Engine. It is fitted with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and I am having some problems figuruing out the routing diagram.

I'm going through the diagram line by line and I am looking at the line coming from the distributor that goes to the Vacuum regulating valve. It branches off there and leads to a few things1)spark retard delay vlv, efe/distr tvs. I really can't see in here because it's so tight.


How is it best to tackle this? Eliminate all the unnecessary vacuum lines or do it the way the diagram shows? I'm open to either.

Q: Does it make sense to plug some lines so the van runs better? It doesn't have to pass emissions anymore

Before anyone asks, I'm doing this only because I knocked a few lines off when doing a water pump repair and it's idling too high now.

I searched on this - but found no answers. I'm the original (proud) owner of a 1986 Chevy Van with the Vortec 6 cyl engine as well. It was running badly when out of town - so had to take it to a shop on the beach... They told me it needed a new carburetor... MONTHS LATER I get my van - only to find it runs like a rocket trying to take off - even when not touching the gas pedal... and SURPRISE - they have decided to remove the entire vacuum system!!! --- The original carb was disposed of... and I've YET to get my poor beloved van running properly again. --- HELP??? 
Was it even ADVISABLE to "BYPASS" or REMOVE the entire vac system??? --- Apparently it is difficult to find a carburetor that will even work with the old system.  I just want to get my sweet chevy van running again - it was running FINE before the old carb failed and started causing all sorts of trouble (carbon in the intake manifold etc)... Did you ever find a solution for your 1986 G10 Vortec V6? (auto trans) ---- ??? PLEASE HELP!

So in park it's idling high as well?I would take needle nose pliers, squeeze every vacuum line,one by one till problem disappears,one is either hooked in wrong place or a defective valve

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
