Hey everybody new guy here been lurking!

recently did the plenum gasket and new head gaskets and am having a really high idle issue, about 1600. Tracked it down to a vacuum leak and need to know if this belongs there or if I have a hose trapped under my intake manifold. This little nipple.on.intake here on the back of the P/S had a elbow that was disconnected that runs to the vacuum line of the intake manifold. Tried to reconnect it however I can get the elbow on it but then can't plug in the main vacuum line connector. Anybody know what that is and if it's supposed to be there? Also anyway to get it connected?

also have a very heavy oil consumption. If that helps any.

 

That's not supposed to be there. Do you vents randomly change settings? Looks like you have to take the manifold back off, I looks like you pinched it under there.

 

So just finished taking everything apart and sure enough that is what it was. It was sandwiched between the gasket and manifold! Off to buy a new gasket and put it back together.
