The tube on the front of the Eldebrock is for the PCV valve. I just installed a 1406 Eldebrock on my 72 and that is what the instructions said it was for. I had to put a spacer under the carb for the power brake vacuum control. The vacuum advance is on the left side of the PCV valve connection. I had it on the right side and it now runs better than it did. This is while standing in front of the car looking at the carb.

My 70 Monte that I bought in Sept of 69 was built in Van Nuys. I had to wait 10 weeks to get it because the Flint plant was on strike.

I did get my 72 out and exercised it him a little today. My son in-laws dad passed two weeks ago and they a memorial service today, at least that is what they called it. Got to put bout 35 miles on it and it felt goot. Me thinks I am going to have withdrawl symptoms afore to long and I hates it when that happens.

Sunday my son in-law and I took the starter off. It has sounded like it was grinding the teeth off of the starter or the flex plate. Everything checked out fine. Having built new starters in the 80's for GM and rebuilding many over the years here at home I decided to take mine apart. Well I had never worked on one of these new mini starters so now I can not get it back together.
Them things are totally different than anything I have ever seen. So Summit Racing is getting some more of my money. After looking over the starter we took off we noticed that the rubber grommet protecting the wiring was dry rotted plus the wiring was showing some copper through the insulation. Should have the new starter tomorrow and be on the road again.
