Helppp; Intake manifold plug and bracket nightmare

Too thick to be a part of a needle bearing
Funny
Just bc I just joined 2 1970 MC case halves this weekend with a MX friend helping…

those totally look like shift cam pins!
The pins here are inserted to shift cam:

 

You have been so helpful and responsive, thank you!!
There is a hose going nowhere, and a little guy sticking out of the silver cylinder and i have no idea where this hose goes. It comes off a hard line connected to a larger hose, coming out toward the drivers side, from behind the head.

 

Also ?!?!? Are are no other hoses or lines to reach this

 

Dang
Pix are “too close” (1st 3)
Looks like I can make out both sides of engine (I think)
Can you take a “set up pic” from further away and then close up?

 

this one^^^
Should be a vacuum diagram on the inside of the hood
Mine is different 100%

might be the charcoal canister IIRC
Emissions
Fuel vapor

 

That is the air intake nip into the charcoal filter....

fresh air supplied from intake tube on back side of the maf



its supposed to go thru that metal tube on top of the radiator....

on mine I got rid of metal tube and just ran straight hose
.....this is how it looked before I got rid of the metal tube.....stupid

 

I believe this is the nip that it draws off clean air..used to purge the filter




if you have cold air induction like mine....then it just draws/taps off anywhere on the intake tube.....

 

...

 

On mine I got rid of all that crap.....
......and just used an crankcase/pcv vent filter instead.

 

I can better pics later/tomorrow am. Found the radiator conmection!! Main issue is the mystery hose behind the head. Apparently it is a coolant hose, it spewed when i actually filled with coolant.
The yellow is where ish the hose is, the arrow is where the hose is coming out of, but its below and behind what you can see, if that makes sense

 

Cap it off with something and keep filling. The mystery connection will spew when coolant gets to it

@OpeCity called his mystery connection a hose barb on the egr valve? Perhaps the egr valve has some coolant flowing through it for cooling?

 

yes the egr feeds off the heater coolant bypass tube

there's two lines into the egr.......one in/ one out

in comes from the metal tube below

the out feeds into the iac valve.........thats how everything knows opp temps...


here's the in line from the lower metal tube.....

Thank you!! I already have two hoses going to the egr connections, maybe i have to switch one out but then where does that go..

 

My hat is off to you guys for helping the OP !

@ControlCar, @Glamisman, @Andy01DblCabTacoma, @O'Silver_Taco, @b_r_o ……….

 

Ok! So to @ControlCar & everyone. I think this is clear! The small marked yellow offshoots the larger marked yellow lower hose, purple offshoots the higher larger hose. The other end of the marked blue is coming off the bottom of the throttle body.

It seems i have to put the purple where the yellow is.
But then where does yellow go.

The only possible idea i can see is the little nub coming out from the starter, marked w a square.

But i had to disconnect them all to get the intake manifold out. Very confused.

 

Starter nub

 

WOW FIGURED IT OUT thank yall sooooooo so much, so helpful and lovely.

 

LET EVERYONE KNOW AFTER THE 1ST DRIVE!!!!!!

 

I will!!!! Going to start it tonight !!!! I got nervous and wanted to triple million check something. I found the spot for the mystery coolant hose going under the intake under the throttle body, but it doesnt make sense for coolant to go in there ? Do i need to switch it with one of the hoses i put on the egr valve?

 

IT STARRTTEEDDDD!!!! havent driven it yet but wooowwee after such a saga, i cant believe it. Thank yall so much for all the advice.
