air clraner question

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank; what I am talking about is the puke tube that
protrudes down on small sixes, from the side of the
engine block (the covers that give you access to the
lifters). This block plate/cover is turned upwards and
the air cleaner is shaped like a six. If you place the
aircleaner properly on the carb the air horn comes out
the left side (an upside down six) and there is a
nipple sticking down to connect directly to the puke
tube. Nothing fancy or convoluted, just like those
flexible tin deals that always tear when you remove
the air cleaner. But this set up is a little 1" deal.
It may have been an early air pollution control as I
remember a lot of sixes that had high miles would just
be smoking out this tube (remember the old holy grail
of 100,000 miles). 
A buddy back in the day with his smoking Ford ran a
rubber hose connected to the old puke tube out the
back via a 20 foot hose. This was coat hangered to the

brake cable and he inturn connected it to a 2" pipe.
Paired with his smoking car he had dual exhaust!! That
is untill the Mt Angel police gave him a fix-it ticket
and the judge said get it fixed.
Anyways, is the tube connecting my air cleaner solid
or flexible?......Russ
