  1. Hi, there is a metal pipe which runs along the top of the engine bay & stops in the middle, i think it comes from the side vents at the rear of the van (i'm guessing) would anyone know if this pipe should be attached to anything & what is it for? thanks

  3. It's part of the fuel tank breather system, a very basic way of reducing emmisions in the early 70's. it should make it's way into the airfilter, but they often get left off if someon's fitted an aftermarket filter.
     
  4. Thanks for the quick responses i'll get that sorted as soon as
