Breather tube in 1988 90Q

[Brian O']

that is pretty common, the first time i saw one, i
thought it was a coolant hose at first, i couldnt
believe it haddent blown, then i started pokin around
and reallized, there aint no water in' ter' !! i think
the hose would work, there oviously isnt a great deal
of vaccume or pressure in that hose.
