Remember when we were looking at the Radiator and reservior?  Well I 
found it in the Service manual.  its page CTS-2019P OR Cooling Systems 
page 6.  Anyway that unconnected hose is an over flow drain for the 
coolent bottle.  It also intakes air to allow backfill into the 
radiator.  If you put a filter on it you would have to consider that 
boiling coolant at some point well have to exit that filter...
     
purpose known, but the solution to keep dirt out is still unknown.

        I'll give this some thought.  Probably look around tonight when I get 
home.  

        Here's a carb (I think) question for the pros.  Driving home from work 
last night (fortunately not driving home from nationals), I found that my 
throttle seemed to be sticking.  So, I pulled over (only to have the engine race
when the clutch was in) to spray some WD-40 on the throttle linkage.  Well, I 
oiled it, but that was not the problem.  I limped my way home (turning the 
engine off at traffic lights, etc.), popped the hood, and with the help of my 
brother, found that the butterfly on the secondaries (Thermoquad) seemed to be 
the problem - simply pushing it down cut the engine speed down to, and even 
lower than, a normal idle.  Has anyone ever run into this, or have any 
suggestions?  As some of you may know, I'm not too well versed on carburetors 
(yet) ;)

        In case it's important:  345, Thermoquad, 4 speed trans, and a pretty 
dirty engine compartment.
     
        Thanks for any help.
