Good Evening Guys! Hope this post isn't too long. I'm too descriptive when I write. It's kind of my thing...
Good day with my C3 today! Cleaned manifold and valve covers (Simple Green and water). Came out kind of blah, but better than it was :) Let it sit over an hour in the open air and was very meticulous with drying any "pools" of water.
Installed rebuilt Quadrajet. Checked fuel filter and reinstalled (gasket-spring-filter with opening to fuel line).
Changed out many vacuum hoses with new red ones. During that process, while removing an old hose, a male plastic end broke off. Not sure exactly what it is for, or what the repercussions of it not being connected are. See the pic with screwdriver pointing to broken male end.
After all new lines were connected, I'm left with two open ends and can't remember where they go. I know. Dumb. See pic I'm holding the "T".
The last pic is of a large open port near the AC on passenger side. I believe this one was not connected prior to me taking everything apart. Any idea what that is for?
Finally, at the end of the day, reconnected battery, tried to start and got nothing. Engine turns and turns but will not start. Tried pumping accelerator and nothing. Didn't want to flood out so I stopped. I haven't adjusted any mixture screws yet (have to look up how to do that) and was wondering if that could by why she wont turn over.
As always, any help is appreciated!!
