What are are these abbreviations?

A/CL BI MET ?
VOTM ?
VDV ?
SOL ?
VCV ?

Also, can somebody tell me how all the hoses from the carb are supposed to be routed? I inherited a mess under the hood and am motivated to straighten it out. Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Check for a white sticker on the passenger side valve cover.
Shown on the top left corner of this page.

Get me those numbers from it or at least describe what you have.
You give any information whatsoever.

I have 55 diagrams alone for the 351M in 78.


Scrolling halfway on this page of mine will show you the acronyms you requested.

You have some great info on your page! I didn't even know where to start looking, thanks.

I have:

1979 Ford F-150 Pickup
302 5.0L
Auto
No A/C
Non-CA
2WD
2bbl Motorcraft 2100 or 2150 Carb

There's no Thermactor or Air Bypass Valve. The EGR is not hooked up. And other vacuum hoses are in poor condition or questionably routed. I just finished rebuilding the carb; new plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, pcv valve; tested all ignition components; timing is on.....and it still runs like crap.

 

This is the vacuum diagram for your truck.

Could you help me out? I got a 79 4wd f150 with either a 351 or 400 engine without AC and a motorcraft carb. Idle jumps up and down like crazy because of the vacuum leak and missing vacuum hoses. I really could use the diagram for it. Really would appreciate it.

 

So, yeah...Mab45678: Welcome to FTE. This is the place to find help, for sure!
When you decide what engine you have, do as I did, and click on the link in post #4.
Now scroll back until you find the frame that applies to your engine. Simple as that.
Hope this helps! Please don't thank me; all thanks should go to Mil1ion for posting the link.
Actually, l have been looking for this information myself. Hopefully this will help others as well.

 

I can’t click on the links. I have a 78 f150 351m. Good info to have but can’t seem to get to it.

 

If you click on this link and when there scroll through by hitting previous photo or next photoyou'll eventually hit your mark

 

and so...California truck or 49 state plus Canada?
also...automatic or manual transmission?
redroad thanks buddy--you type plainer than me.

Should clarify your abbreviations and help with the diagrams.
