RATS NEST OUT!! Help me finish!!!
All I have to say is hell yeah. Lol. The rats nest is out of my Rex hopefully eliminating lots of vacuum leaks. I have just a few questions about things that were unclear to me in the wonderful how-to by rx-7carl and pratch.
1) What do I "T" in with the white solenoid? I have two hoses left over. One from what I believe is the cruise control. The other left over is from the "sub-zero start assist reservoir." What do I hook each of these to? If I hook one up the other is still left useless? Right now I have this thing T'ed in with the white solenoid. Is this the cruise control? What is it? Have I done it correctly? If I have, what does the extra hose from the start assist res. go to? As far as I remember both hoses were hooked into the piping of the nest.
In the how-to it says to "T" the first vacuum opening to the solenoid and then to the cruise control. On my 85 GS Auto this leaves the start assist hanging. WHAT GIVES??

Man I wrote that so long ago (in dog years anyway).
First off, totally remove the sub zero **** ahd chuck it all. Then plug the nozzle on the carb. IIRC, the rest was explained. The sub zero wasnt mentioned in the tutorial as I reacall cause its not part of the emissions. Same for the hot start, which BTW you can remove and stomp on.

ok i was wondering, i bought a car with the nest removed and im confused.
if all the vacum lines going to my distibutr are removed ( as is the case on my car) how can the vacume advance, and all the other features of a mechanical dist. car, or any other things controlled by the vacum, Work?

So is what I have labeled in the picture above as the cruise control, really the cruise control? And am I correct in my methods when I t'd it into the white solenoid?
Also, I"m not real familiar with what the hot start looks like or where its at. Where can I find a good pic of it? Thanks for the help.

At least that's what the how to says, and that's how I did it. I've yet to start the car up, so we'll see what happens. I'm still working on plugging things and changing old crusty hoses...

While I'm at it, I was unclear on one other thing as well. There are a couple of pipes under the car in the how to that need to be plugged. The how to talks about using the "cut fold and crimp" method. The picture is really freaking close and I can't tell where the hell it is talking about. Where are these two lines under the car that I'm supposed to plug? (roughly)
After I get those plugged I should be good to go.

As I understand it, and according to the how-to, you use a T fitting (3/16" I believe) and "T" the two lines off the distributor, to your second opening from the left on the carb.

Hate to revive the Ancient thread but....
Can you "crimp and fold" the metal pipes in the engine bay rather than under the car? Or (option #2) can't you do the "clamp and bolt" trick in the hose that is attached to the end of it in the engine bay?
Sorry if this is redundant but I am soooo near compleation I can almost taste the victory
