    That is it, exactly. One end goes in the hole in the manifold the other to the carburetor.

    There is a fitting that unscrews off the carburetor. The line goes on in one piece. Stick one end in the exhaust manifold, the other on the carb and tighten the fitting.

    I puckered a little bit...
    Imagine a little ball of fire inside a van in front of your 8 year old son,and you have to hold back the tears and the urge to scream: "fuuuuuck" in front of him..
    Eventually i beat the fire like it owed me money, with a towel and put it out...
    I had a fire extinguisher 2 feet away...
    No Heinekens we're harmed.

    Ok,this seems to short but i will try thanks....

    This has been an interesting thread. As usual, I've learned a few things along the way and once again I'm impressed with the HAMB community coming to the aid of another rodder in need. But I've got to say that I've been a bit surprised at the lack of good-natured ribbing or even a few Cheech and Chong jokes given the source water problem that was being discussed .....
    :rolleyes:

    I'm glad someone admires our self control. I was tempted to make a crack once or twice but what the hell, we all have to learn.
