Hello, I am a newbie. Below are some pictures of the engine in my 1980 Firebird.
What is the slotted arm for just laying there under the throttle spring? Where should it go? It looks like it is coming from under the distributor.
What is the black hose coming out of the top of the valve cover? Shouldn't it be connected somewhere? I would think oil would come out of this when running.
It looks as if engine is all there. It turns freely. Hopefully I will get it started tomorrow/. I am expecting to go to work, they are calling for 6-8 inches of snow!

All help is greatly appreciated.
That is the transmission kick down. Hook it to the throttle from the carb. It will kick the transmission to lower gear with WOT.
