Well, I couldn't locate it worth a darn.  Proabably has something to do with my
loud Manza muffler.  Anyway, I found what felt like a vacuum hose fitting right
under and forward of the #3 cylinder branch from the air intake distributor.
It's this protruding thing next to this other protruding thing with a screw in
it.  (I clearly don't what the hell anything is!)  But it still hisses.
Can anyone help?
