Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

After removing the air cleaner from my '54, I noticed this pipe thing which is connected inline with the heater hose for the drivers side heater. Is this suppose to be there? AsI am going to replace all rubber fuel and heater hoses (as they have been on there for at least 20 years), I was wondering. The only thing that I can think of is that the previous owner was worried about the hose.rubbing against the windshield wiper vacuum motor.
I took to pictures. It is the blue thing connected inline with the heater hose.

Probably one part of the hose was bad and the previous owner replaced only the defective bit and needed the connector...If you are replacing the heater hoses, don't use the connector again.
