the hose appears to have a "T" take off molded into it under the manifold.

Does the hose feed air someplace else, or is it just an optical illusion? I can't see anyplace that it could be going, but i can't get a good view.

Dizzy according to pic.

 

The T is for the connection to the dizzy ventilation spigot on top of the cap. This part (4 above) is NLA, I think, but you can buy a gizmo to make a takeoff in a normal 90° hose:

I can make a take off fitting for a small hose from some brass bar (I have a lathe).

Thanks, that makes sourcing a hose much easier, the local NAPA has a good 90* bend hose selection.
