[Dom Fernandez]

Hi I have a 1971 westy it has a valve or vacuum solenoid inside the engine comp. left rear.On mine is disconected and also there is a port on the left intke manifold which is blocked.I have looked everywhere and can't find what it is for or what it is called.Is this part of the dual vacuum distributor?do any f you guys know.Thanks

I believe they are both for the Throttle Positioner, old smog compliant stuff.

it's the round thing jetting out with the two vacuum hoses attached to it.
