Wire identification 81 c30 dually
My ‘85 is setup this way. The pod on the carb is vacuum operated. There is an electric solenoid mounted on my thermostat housing that connects to the pod. I believe the relay on the valve cover ties into my electric solenoid based on RPM, it then opens the vacuum to allow the pod on the carb...- Craig 85

Wire identification 81 c30 dually
The relay on the firewall could be for the pod on the driver's side front of the carb. Mine is mounted on the valve cover. On my '85 it opens the carb a hair to prevent back fires between certain RPM's.- Craig 85

I did this about 5 years ago with a Molotow Chrome pen. Still looks good. -
AC/Heat vacuum selector valve part #
I think if that valve fails it defaults to the floor or defrost. I can’t recall. I bought one of those cheap vacuum testers to make sure all the vacuum pods worked. When I determined they did, it led me to the valve being the issue. I know the complete control assembly was under $200 when I... -
AC/Heat vacuum selector valve part #
I couldn't get one for my '85 a few years ago and had to buy the whole control. Last photo has the exploded part numbers. Look at #6. -

A couple of questions. Is it an EFI motor or were the motor homes still carbed? It's a 7.4L. This is for a California pre 1/1/85 454 k30. Single smog pump, factory no cats with dual exhaust.- Craig 85
