Default Intake / Vacuum / Hose identify question?
I don't know what this hose is, or where it is supossed to be connected to. Someone just blocked it off with a bolt. It is on the back side of the carb, and looks like it goes into the bottom of the carb or the riser/spacer plate.

it's a vacuum port for polution equipment that's probably been taken off the car.

If your emissions sticker is still on the car it should have a vacuum diagram. Check there.

I believe that connects to the breather to scavenge fuel vapor.

It goes to the thermal switch in the air cleaner.
