Ford CMP- Vacuum line to windscreen wipers
Hello Serge,
That little tube is on the vacuum breaker and the rubber hose to the vacuum operated windscreen wipers attaches to it there. Often vacuum wipers have been replaced with electric wipers so that little tube needs to be plugged, otherwise the vacuum pressure in the system will not be developed and the PCV valve and spark advance brake on the distributor will not function properly. I have seen a few engines with that tube crushed shut where vacuum wipers were no longer fitted. Best to just plug it in case original wipers are ever fitted. Cheers,
