is there a clip that secures the metal line to the carb? there are grooves on both the carb fitting as well as the metal line that slides into it and the fit seems loose. bill

Re: vacuum line clip on L72?
Man, that must be an unmanageable vacuum leak, and probably to the distributor vacuum advance!
Bill, the best thing to do is get the Assembly Instruction Manual for your car, then turn to the option pages in the back. If installation of the metal line, which I assume to be the distributor vacuum advance line, is differenent from the standard car, it will be shown in the L72 section. Typically, when a steel vacuum line is connected to the carburetor, a short length of rubber hose, say 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" long, will be used as a coupler to make the connection.- Top

Re: vacuum line more info
the metal vacuum advance line is smaller in diameter than the carb fitting so it must not be a hose connecting them yet the line slides into the carb fitting. the grooves appear to be for a slide on locking clip. i will check the AIM,bill- Top
