Atwell,
I saw your reply to Larry's emissions problem.  I tried looking in the VB
catalog for an answer and was more confused than when I started.  Larry has a
Non California Spit and there seems to be more than one way those hoses were
connected.  Moreover, the pictures don't reveal the whole hookup, only the
connections at each end.  Problem is, "which ends go with which picture?"

I think your offer of "very crude descriptions" of how your car is connected
will solve his problem.  You can relate the descriptions to the VB diagrams for
clarity.  Copy me on this, I am curious.
