on 81, (with AC, pwr seat/windows/4 spd) looking down into engine bay passenger side, front below and right of where #2 cyl is and ..just aft of ac compressor..and above the fuel pump..are two small rubber tubes..one a bit smaller than the other..that curve sharply down toward chassis frame..what are they?
I see cracks at the bends..prob need to replace em..don't know what they are, where they go, what to "order" or get.
Should be getting better view and access when i do the exhaust manifold R&R..and by the way (i posted this in another thread) how the hell do you even get at the exhaust manifold bolts to R and R??
Thanks
Nick

Sounds to me like you're looking at the fuel supply and return lines.

Yup thanks, got em, replaced em. If anyone goes to do it be prepared, gas keeps coming from the tank line..have a catchpan, a plug ready for the line..and no ignition sources anywhere (gas hot water pilot, operating a garage door opener, a friend walks in with a cig etc.
