Fuel Vapor Tube with Service Port

[blazen71]

I'm looking for the fuel vapor tube with service port shown in the picture below. The pic if from a Grand Marquis. I need one for a Marauder, if they're different. One with good ends that aren't cracked. For the life of me I cannot find the OEM P/N or if its even available new. PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks!

The last part number I have is 3W7Z 9G271-AA with a supersession number that is obsolete. I will post a pic when I get home.

I’ll check my stock this morning, pretty sure I haven’t pitched it yet. If so it’s yours.

That’s the part. Are you saying it’s obsolete or still available?

[justbob]

It would appear I did toss it? Sorry man I swore I had just seen it not that long ago but it isn’t in any of the Merc stash’s.

Nope. That appears to be the pcv valve and tube to upper intake manifold

I went back and did a second look in DOW and OEC and there's not even one laying around at another dealer. Every PDC is also completely depleted of stock. You may have to make one with new ends and your existing hose.

Thanks' for looking! I appreciate it. I wonder if Dorman makes fittings that work?

What is P/N on the blue and white Ford label?

I sold my 339k Marauder year and half ago bought a 17k Marauder to replace it. Old one had a CG hood and i found a replacement lift strut but i want to try the way you did yours.
Which lift and how did you decide to mount the lift pivot on fender. Thank you.

I believe the mock up set came off a junked 2000ish Dodge Intrepid or 300. I believe even the stratus is the same but went for the largest hood. Worked great so I ordered a new set of them as the free struts were worn.

I reused the hood location as is and drilled a 1/4” hole on the fender lips for the new lower mount, basically mimicking the fender mount holes, then installed vertically. I shaved just a tad off two sides of the washer to fit in the fender lip.

I remember the drivers side I had to remove the vacuum storage box to get the nut on the Dodge mount as it was in the way. Then I just mounted it back up was installed.

Placement is everything. Too far forward to achieve factory hood height and they won’t hold up the heavy hood at that angle. Use a C clamp as a stop to find the sweet place. The hood will sit a lot higher up but that’s better for us tall folks. I didn’t even remove the hood on the last engine swap..
