1969 Cale II:
Is my carb missing something? The metal tube that comes from the bottom of the exhaust manifold to a vacuum source? Where does the rubber hose attach to? Metal tube to what? My car came in pieces (ever here that, ya right) so I don't really know where it goes. To the tee on the back of the intake manifold?
Thanks Chris

Steel tube to the exhaust manifold.

Typically, you draw clean air from the air cleaner thru a rubber hose at the edge of the carburetor, down to the manifold with a short steel tube, thru the manifold heating chamber, into an insulated steel tube up to the choke. The air is drawn via a vacuum generated by a small port in the primary (for a 4V) venturi in the carburetor.
(Thus endith the lesson for today.)

Don't know :)


Chris is this for a 4300 (4V) or a 2V application??

1969 Cale II:
It appears that I am missing the short metal tube at the back of the carb were the rubber hose goes. It is a 4300 4v, it is not the one that came with my car. Mine is an auto, are stick cars different?
