JW, that does help, thanks!
One follow-on question: what the heck is this tube coming out of the intake manifold for? On the lower end there is a brazed on fitting of some sort, but air passes through it in both directions freely. My initial thought was some sort of relief valve if manifold pressure built up (instead of vacuum) but the tube passes air freely in both directions.
I was looking at the car today because it seems to whistle, quite loudly, and if I put my finger over the hole, the whistle ceased, but the car also died.
You can also see in the picture that I have some rust coming through on the underside of my intake manifold. I may have to shop for a new one anyways - the threads for the outer bolt of the three that hold the manifold together were only partially complete. It is holding for now, but we'll see.
