So I finally got it running! problem is, it's idling at like 2k rpms.
cliffnotes - purchased from an estate sale in boxes. Series V Alpine.
I had it setup based on a picture the original owner had in his build, but something about how the hoses are routed doesn't sit right with me.
To me, this hose should not be connected to the valve cover. it makes no sense to run vacuum to it.
here's the rest of the setup- the top hose connects (with what appears to be some sort of flame trap?? the red thing?) to the air filter housing.
Bottom of this goes down into the crankcase.
I dont see anything that resembles any sort of PCV system at all on here. Just straight vacuum. The other port on the intake manifold had a dowel rod in it with a vacuum cap so I bet the original owner got a little creative
any thoughts on how it "should" be routed?
The other large hose connected to the head is the heater hose of course. Texas vehicle so the heater core isnt connected at the time. I bypassed it until I figured out if it would run or not.
Thanks!!!
