Hello, how do i tell if the emision cotrol has been taken off? I hae noticed that there is a braided type hose tht comes off a tube neat the carburetor, sorry i don't know what it comes off of. And teh end of that braided hose has been clamped and closed off. Thanks and hopefully u can kinda understand

Look for the smog pump on the drivers side of the block. It will have a belt to drive it, and it is mounted below the distributor across from the alternator. One of the braided hoses on that side of the engine goes to the block from the air cleaner, to evacuate the crankcase.
