'75 GT550 carb hose question

Post by bill in okc »

I'm scary close to starting this 550 it had not been registered since 1997 - most of the pieces/wires are falling into place. I have two fittings on the carburetor bank - the short hoses that connect between the bodies and there are these two small light plastic "T" fittings... I can't find out where they are supposed to go - the third leg that sticks out? Can anyone advise me on their purpose? Thanks!

Hoses 82 & 83 hook on to those fittings. The T on the plastic piece (center carb) is not used. Leave it open.

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
