79 Engine pics, whats good, whats missing?
Hey Guys,
Finally got my new project delivered today! A 79 L82 manual that needs a lot of tlc and restoration.
Here are a couple of shots of the engine bay. I have the air cleaner assembly in the car so looking at the pics, does it all look stock and what is obviously missing?
TIA.

It looks like you have a few electrical issues and wiring connections that are spliced and/or not connected on the driver's side near the distributor. The small hose that you grabbed in the video is the vacuum control for the heater valve down near the exhaust manifold. Overall it looks a bit rough but it will be great to see you fix it up and get another C3 regularly on the road.
