Hi Guys-
As you may have read on another thread, I recently purchased a '74 Comet. It has what I believe is a 302 engine and a Edelbrock Carb. Anyways...I went to start the car this morning, made it down the street and as I rolled to the first traffic light, the car rumbled and died. Started her right back up and it died again. Made it back home and let it sit. Fast forward to tonight, I looked at the fuel filter, it's getting gas fine. Then I pulled the air filter off and came across two hoses not plugged in. uh huh... Only due to my lack of being mechanically incline in this department, I can't figure out where this hooks into. It's the t-shape looking hose that goes into one hose. I looked behind the carb and can't see any opening. The closest part of the carb in the pick is capped off. So any help would be great. The second hose I spoke of, I didn't take a photo of but can provide more detailed photos tomorrow as I work on it. Anyone who has a moment to spare where I can email pics too or speak to, please feel free to reach out. Seems as simple as hooking things up but as of now can't find where it plugs too. Also, when I rev the engine, the car squels a little. My maintenance guy at work said that this is due to the belts being loose and just need to be tightened? Any thoughts here?
Thanks
