Engot. Yer going to have to post a pic.
I have a '69 and can't figure out what your are looking at.
Are ..."the little rubber lines", vacuum or coolant?
You shouldn't have any emission crap on that engine either.

Temperature controlled vacuum switch.

Temperature controlled vacuum switch.

Thanks Rusty Truck.
Must be for the choke? on a '69? I'm still learning then.

Without pictures were all guessing. The truck is a 69 but it could be any year motor. There were temperature switches for timing control, egr, choke and air cleaner just depending what model car, truck and year the engine came from.

Hey engot, did it have a hose on it?? If so where did the hose go, to the carb or breather??? One little hose goes to a flap in the breather, to open for fresh air.;D;D;D
