Quick Picture Help

Afternoon guys. I'm currently in the process of restoring my car from front to back. Just put the engine back in last fall and have yet to run it. Was hoping to fire it up today. Two important things before I dare turn the key over



I cannot for the life of me find where this goes. It's simply disconnected. It's a hard line that runs to the evap canistor and is located just below the hardline for the clutch as you can see in the picture.



Next is this little thing. It's located on the drivers side of the engine bay, just below the brake booster stuff and is attached directly into the main wiring harness. Any ideas where it goes?

Alright, the hard line is a vent from the charcoal canister that is linked to the pcv valve next to the carb somewhere. I forget where exactly because i took my stock carb off years ago. A shop manual will help you get it hooked up correctly. As for the connector, if it doesn't go to the brake fluid level sensor it is likely not used. There are a few unused connectors in that area for some odd reason.

There's not a black 2 wire plug in that area. I assume your plugs are painted or really dirty. Main relays, AC relays and warning switch for brake fluid level come out of the harness there. As previously mentioned, wire colors would tell us.

The wires are blue, with the ground being black with a yellow stripe.

Black/yellow and Black wires go to one of the two diodes in that area. Can't find a 2 terminal plug with blue wire in that area, on the wiring diagram or the 2 SEs I have. Do you have the two diodes shown in the attachment?

The hard line goes to the nipple on the iron next to the oil fill tube.
The nipple on the oil fill tube goes to the purge/pcv.

Do you have a picture of the connection of the PCV steven? I must have the nipple on the oil fill tube hooked up wrong then.

that black plug looks like one that I have on my GSL-SE, but mine is green. Mine's not plugged into anything because supposedly it is used for diagnostic purposes or something... It's hard to tell, since it looks like all of your plugs are black...
