Thanks....ya know I looked at that page a dozen times. Read the caption under it as many times. Just couldn't get the meaning correct.

I am not going for a "Show" quality restoration on this car but I would like to keep things as much original s possible. When I can't drive it any longer the next guy can decide if he wants to change anything.

Now that I understand the picture I am still confused about who and when the hoses were routed the way that they are now. They are all old hoses that probably should be replaced but the point is that I have not put anything new in the mix (as for as these hoses are concerned) since I started working on this car last year.

As I recall it ran fine several years ago when I stopped driving it and put it up in the garage. Actually it still does run fine. My only problem is a "not starting when hot" symptom that I have another thread on the site to discuss.

The hoses, as they were before you replied to my question and I figured out the correct diagram in the servcice manual, were as follows:

"V" went to the back of the carburator ( as it should)
"MT" went to a "t" fitting and on to the manifold (as it should)
The hose from the distributor was spliced, with a metal tube, to a shorter hose which was connected to the front of the carburator, where "C" should connect to.
"C" on top of the DVC sw. was looped down to the "D" port on the DVC switch.

Unless this was an after market enhancement that some mechanic emplimentd 30 years ago, I would guess that somebody didn't connect these hoses up correcly some where along the line many years ago and I just never knew it.

I wonder if this will affect my "not starting when hot" symptom?

Thanks for jogging the ol' brain.
