Air grabber hood hoses install

[Wile E. Coyote]

Need to install the canister and rubber lines for my air grabber hood on a non original N96 1970 Road Runner. Anyone have a diagram of where the canister mounts and the lines go through the firewall?

Hoping to get the lines through so I can tackle restoring the dash this summer.

Hello Wile E. Coyote, the two indentations on the firewall between the heater box nuts is where the canister mounts and the hoses route through where the indentation above the heater hoses are. I hope this helps. (At least that's how it was on my RR)

Thank you Jim and Tdawg, this helps a bunch! Now I just need to get out the drill and let the party begin!

And if you're looking for one of those three hole grommets...

70 Air Grabber hose grommet

Bryan, This may not apply to your car, but a number of early 70 Air Grabber cars did not have the hole and the grommet. The wires came out just behind the voltage regulator. These may have been more prevalent on California cars, but that is speculation on my part. My 70 Air Grabber is like...

Hello Mr. Coyote,
I just realized, the illustration I posted is for 1971, not 1970.

It is from the 1971 Body Service Manual.

The schematic diagram is correct however for 1970-1972 Plymouths & 1971 Dodge.

Sorry about that!!!

I have attached pictures here taken from my 70-71 Parts Catalog for your review.

Hope this info helps you out!!!

Sincerely,
Jim

I am also in the process of installing my vacuum canister. Mine looks different. I was told there were 2 styles used in 1970. Do i have the correct canister. And if so were the tabs vertically mounted or horizontal?

This canister above is for 70 cars with A/C. It is not the correct air grabber canister. The AG canister has one bracket with two mounting holes. See photo below.

My opinion.....FWIW.....using the diagrams and pictorials following do not forget to install the under dash solenoid valve that opens/closes the N96 actuator. It's pricey, so most guys convince themselves that it's not really needed. The solenoid receives power when the ignition switch is in the ON POSITION. VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT AN ORIGIONAL APPEARING AND FUNCTIONAL N-96 HOOD........
BTW....,.GET RID OF THE GM style brake booster; use a Bendix Tandem booster and master cylinder (disc brakes) and the correct master cylinder style.......
