Perhaps those of you with some X experience can help me here:

1) What hooks up to the little elbow off of the intake manifold:

2) What is this can, and what does it do?

3) Where does this hose go?

4) My clutch feels really dead. It goes to the floor with
little resistance, but does move the arm in the engine bay.
Shifting gears is pretty difficult, and I'm not getting great
tranny feel. Any one know what could be causing these things?

Thanks a ton, I'm getting close to the big day here!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hi there, got a couple of good guesses for you:
1. I think it goes to the auto choke heater on the carb.

2. Diverter valve for the air pump.

3. Think it's the line for the above valve.

4. You need to bleed the air from the clutch hydraulics or possibly replace the cylinders if it's been sitting a long time.

Hope this helps, I wouldn't swear to the above answers, but it's the best I can do from memory of a 1300.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->On my car, the water connection on teh intale is connected to the small fitting on the thermostat housing. On S's car, the fitting on the thermo housing is connected to the water choke (which I don't have) and the line from choke goes to a fitting on the water pump pipe. So there either needs to be a T somwhere or whole different water connection.

On item 4: you need to make sure that the slave cylinder moves far enough. See if you can move it further with a big pry bar or something like that.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->1) The auto choke heater is already hooked up. One side connects to the water pump (I think), the other to a T in a pipe right below the carb, near the block.

2+3) Makes sense, I'll check my manuals to see how that gets hooked up.

4) I bled the clutch, and the tranny shifts much more easily (perhaps at all) now. Clutch is still a little light...

Thanks for the help.
