Our running discussion about vacuum HOSES (big) and TUBES (small) refers to
MOSS catalog diagram/picture of Emission Controls. Anyone with additional
info is STRONGLY encouraged to comment, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...

Ken, I don't understand this comment ("open this up"). Do you mean to the
ListServe?? I assume you do and am sending this to the list.

Ken, I think that there are two spots (connections) coming off of the intake
manifold; one foreward and one aft of the carb.
>My B only has one (line).
So does mine, but I'll bet there are SUPPOSED to be 2.
>Which as described above runs to the Vac advance.
I think one does and the other is SUPPOSED to go to the Air
Pump.

Well, how about it.... Anyone, Bueler, Bueler.....
TTFN !
