Looks like the EFE (early fuel evaporation) and A.I.R. (air injection reaction) control lines.

I doubt they are available new. When they've broken on me, I just spliced them with rubber hose.

 

thats a common thing to break on those...i just pulled all that crap out on my old 4bbl 85 TA and bought rubber caps to plug it up on the carb...its just emissions junk thats not necessary...not in mass anyways

 

So just pull it all off and cap everywhere it was connected?

 

It's part of the emissions equipment required in all 50 states.

 

five7kid is right. i got a lecture about cappin off mine.
it got rejected

 

so I need to go to advance and spend 35 bucks and buy some hose and t fittings ect and make my own little hose setup is that what you guys are telling me lol :O)

 

and when do i become something other than a junior member just curious

 

If your not sure just ask the shop where you would get it inspected. i personally would feel better knowing its all hooked up right, but hey whatever floats your boat lol

and btw, you are a junior member...

 

recently my sons import had a similar fitting that we busted when doing the timimg belt & water pump. I used JBWeld and it's running fine.

You can buy the small hard plastic tubing in 3 sizes at Autozone (probably available at other parts stores too). its' nice to use around the carb because it doesn't get in the way as much as larger diameter rubber tubing. Use a razor blade to cut and lighter to bend. another route is to just have the parts counter give you their smallest rubber tubing, especially for long runs not right up against the carb.

 

what you broke is your brain!
you bought 3rd gen car.
i would be cheaper to be heroin addict. you would spend less money and less time thinking about drugs than your 3rd gen!
but you cant have a better time sitting up than you can driving in your 3rd gen. not laying down, but sitting up.
you are hooked. resign yourself to it.
welcome!

the next thing that will break there is the plastic valve that moves water from the head into the heater. it is cheap plastic and will not last too long. they sell them at pepboys.

 

the pice thats in the water outlet is the Thermostatic vaccum switch.
