I am restoring a 69 442, it doesn't have the original 400 motor, it has a 455. The car has an automatic transmission, I had taken multiple photos of the placement of all of the items on the engine when I was prepping for taking the motor out of the car for repainting. The problem is that the phone that I took all the pictures on took a crap and I couldn't access anything on the phone, so I lost all of the photos I had taken showing me the relation of the vacuum lines for the motor. I do have an Oldsmobile repair manual, but it is a copy, and anyone who has a copy of an Oldsmobile manual knows that they suck and the pictures are very hard to see. I can't make out where the lines go, if anyone can assist me in the routing of the vacuum lines, that would greatly be appreciated.

The '69 Cutlass/4-4-2 assembly manuals, also referred to as Product Information Manuals (PIM), have been real good on the copy side in the past, and pretty clear on routing of all lines. If you don't have an assembly manual, I recommend getting one in hard copy (just do a google search and you will find a number of sources to buy one) to help in putting things back together again.

I have both a '68 and a '69 and the '68 copy is horrible but the '69 is very clear.

I have an assembly manual for the 69, but the printing in it is horrible. If you have a clear copy can you tell me who the publisher is of your book, or can you scan the page you have of the engine vacuum lines and post it so I can get it? My engine is a 455 with an automatic trans

From the 69 CSM. Also a shot of my 68 455 built to look like the 400 for my 69 442. Hope this helps some.

I also have a good copy of the CSM and my 442 has the vacuum hoses connected. If you would like to see the routing pm me or email @ agh48@aol.com. I'm in Tucaon

69 442 w/455 also. Mine is also built to look like a 400, painted it bronze. The photos were very helpful

No problem. The 69 CSM is an invaluable tool along with the BSM.
