Mansfield has a bit of a problem with some of their part numbers. If it's not simple dyslexia or y key entry problem then it's a completely made up part number, as far as I can tell.
In this case it looks like he has the engineering number prefix and a dyslexic part number suffix. The part number suffix is 8592 not 8952. The 428cj T-housing has casting number C8AE-8594-B and part number C4TZ-8592-C. I see the casting number on my aluminum T-housing on the engine I just brought home today. I can't tell if it's a B or E suffix. I don't see the number on the cast iron T-housing on my other engine. It's in the car so it's hard to see. I don't see any E suffix in the '75 MPC either.
The best way to test the vacuum switch is to put it with the T-housing in boiling water and see if it switches the vacuum from one port to the other. It's in the shop manual. |
