I appreciate the reply. Yeah, eventually tracked down an older post regarding what it was. Replaced all my vac lines today and noticed it when I was all done. Again, thank you confirming.

Disregard. Figured out it is a vent.

…..and where does the other end go? Right now one end is attached to a fitting off the bottom of what I think is the HVAC, according to the emissions map. But on the map it doesn’t show that fitting / hose! Right now it’s like 3 feet of hose that goes down the wall of the inner fender and...

It’s all good. Everyone’s constructive input is greatly appreciated. I’m no certified professional mechanic. But always willing to learn. So far the community has been extremely supportive. Grateful.

Thank you, Sir. You’re absolutely right. The more reading I’m doing the more I’m learning. Waiting on Amazon to deliver my new timing light today. It’s been over a decade since I last had a toy (no pun intended) to tinker with. Now that the kids are a little older and have more ME TIME, I...

…..will check this tomorrow. Read up on it here after you mentioned it. THANK YOU. I was not aware. First time 60 owner. Learning something new about her everyday.

To be honest, no I am not sure. I have not gotten that far into her, yet. But it was next. I could smell the CAT burning so I started there. Honeycomb on one end was in pieces. Some looked like it melted, so “timing” was definitely suspect. The plan was to go through everything anyway...

Thank you, Albert110. I do appreciate your response and all the information. Very helpful. I had some time to tinker more today so I did a smoke test, again, and used a mirror to better see where it was leaking from. Hard to capture clearly with my iPhone, but with my own two eyes I can see...

Smoke is shooting out from the carburetor. Around the accelerator pump area.

I had a stream of smoke coming out of this area. Is there a way to replace whatever seal that’s there or is it time for a rebuilt unit?

Pulled the cat. Had a new one installed. NOW I can drive past 45 mph. Will do a complete tune-up and valve adjustment next.

Ok I’ll take a look tomorrow. Just reconnected that one I inquired about and what a night and day difference. Able to use all 4 gears without any bogging. The plan is to inspect and replace any bad vacuum lines, reconnect as well. You’ve been a big help. Thanks!
