So I pulled this off of my 1980 12a engine. It looks just like a purge valve except its got 3 hoses running from the bottom. every image and vacuum diagram I have looked at shows the purge valve with 2. So is this a purge valve? if so how do I plumb up my crankcase venting correctly without the rats nest?

 

It looks Like a vacuum spider.
But I am an Fc guy.

haha kinda a catch 22 since this was the 20th post, can a mod move this to the correct location.

 

Sorry man,I can only move posts in this section.
Simply post up another thread in 1st gen.
