Old time poster here, used to post 10 years back or so, before the forum when it was more a mailing list.

Anyhow still have my bird, though I have had some serious offers on it, none that made me pull the trigger. Has been sitting in my garage for 4 years, haven;t even started it. Was covered, and had boxes, junk and everything else stacked on it. I have a wood working shop of sorts in my garage, so it was literally covered in dust and I practically forgot it was there.
My love has been rekindled, I cleaned her off and detailed her a bit but I was thinking, no way is she going to start after sitting all that time. I was going to pump out the tank, take off and clean the carb ect. In the end I just got a junkyard battery and tried firing her up, on the 4th crank she caught and sounded great. After half a minute or so I started getting paranoid thinking gas may be squirting on the headers or something so I shut her down, no leaks at all.
So far so good, no tranny fluid showing on the dipstick though so I think the gasket must have dry rotted, next step is to check into that, and also the brakes, and might try to take her around the block sometime next week.

Questions are these - Long vac line coming off the carb, which I remember putting the metal sleeve on - For the life on me, can't figure out where it goes.
Also, looks like some type of stock connector for something, located around the passenger side firewall .. I know the pic is none too good but does this thing ring a bell for anyone ?
