I'm trying to bring this beast of an '84 Gsl back to life but i don't know what this dangling tube is. I can't see what it hooks to on the side it is attatched, and I can't tell where the broken end was supposed to go. Nothing leaks out of it and it didn't seem to have an affect on the engine running (although the carb is in pieces and I can't test that right now). Just found it a little disturbing to find a bar hanging under my car. It looks like it is attatched somewhere just below the carb on the passenger side.

 

Feeds air to you cats for more complete burning.

 

^^^ yup

 

have the same tube sticking under my car, can i remove and block it ?

 

If you've removed the airpump/ cats- yup- you can remove it.
If not- that air does come in handy during the catalytic burn process.

 

So its only really needed to meet emissions?

 

yes, without an air pump it should be plugged..

 

hey valor, where in MD are you? (and yes, cats + air pump are definitely needed to pass emissions, do a search on my posts, a few weeks ago i wrote a huge one about a ghetto exhaust i made to get me through md emissions)

 

funny I just removed that last night... I will be placing it in the hollowed out bonz cat that I have.

 

Yep, just the feed tube from your air pump. If no pump, no cat!

 

Funny, haven't had a rotary powered 7 in almost 4 years and remembered what it was. Thanks for the refresher
