What is this, and why does it look like this?
Okay, so I've begun the tear-down on the cylinder head in my 84 XJ6. I'm just about ready to pull the head itself, despite the fact that the bottom middle bolts on the exhaust manifold were designed so that you can't get a socket in there . . .
Anyway, As I was disconnecting hoses and wires and so on, I discovered this:
I'm not 100% certain what this is. It looks a lot like the fuel cooler, but is obviously not. It had a hose connecting it to a box on the back of the alternator. At first I thought it was just clogged, but it actually seems to be welded. Is this correct, or do I have something seriously wrong?
Thanks!

On closer examination it looks like the pipe has been intentionally plugged, Yes ?
Anyhow, the engine doesn't mind if the system is removed or defeated so, since you don't have emission testing, I wouldn't give the matter another thought
