...and about a mile of vaccuum hoses too.
I have a late 70s domestic car I keep around, it's not as bad as the 80s version
s but still has plenty of emissions/mileage stuff. Once they got into air/smog p
umps it really started to go wild under the hood. In some ways a modern vehicle
is actually simplier because computers and electronic solenoids aren't as comple
x as the vaccuum controlled systems.
