the big one on the bottom is pcv, the small one on bottom are to vacuum accessories, the one on the front metering block goes to the vacuum advance

Re: Vacuum line help

I really appreciate the input but treat me like a dumb *** that's never been under the hood of a car... Im gonna gopop the hood and explain these lines the very best I can so I can better understand your answer..... ok there's one small line coming off the bottom front of the carb a big one frm the back bottom of the carband then there is a "T" fitting on the back of the intake I'm assuming one is for brakes what's the other? I'm really sorry I sound so stupid I just didn't pay a lot of attention to the vacuum lines when I took the motor apart I nicely organized and cataloged everything else but I figured hey there just vacuum lines hiow hard could it be and yanked em now I'm wanting to kick my own ***...
