The line you are talking about sounds like the air tube for the exhaust.

In the 80's emissions where still pretty crude. They ran a tube from the cat back to the motor into an EGR valve. They still do this today, but it's a bit better the way they focre the exhasut back into the motor.

You probably hear a ticking sound when driving, this is the exhaust leaking out of the tube. It only will be a problem if the "Check Engine" light comes on.

Sounds like that carb wasn't rebuilt right. Take the car elsewhere
