Looks like you bypassed your manifold water tube. This will work as long as you have a closed cooling system. Not really sure what that tube was for, cool the intake or heat the intake. If you are running your car, obviously you have your coolant hooked up somehow.

The tube heats the intake manifold and makes it possible to get off of the choke much earlier. Of course it is warm in PR so this is not really much of a problem for Dale. The heating tube was missing on my car (I jammed in a new tube, the design is a bit different on the 4 cyl cars, and it is not threaded, the tube was cast in place) It makes no real difference when it is warm, but on cool mornings there is a several minute difference when the engine can come off the choke and run properly.
 
On Dale's car, the heater core has been removed so there is no where for that hose to run to anyway.
It just warms up the manifold and Dale already looked after that by geography.

<span style="color: #990000">David, are you telling me some part of my engine has
been Pedro-ized and it's not gonna cost me $$ thousands to repair
and will not cause me additional breakdowns?

Awesome !!

Say hi to the ladies for me!

YA!!!!

It seems that a part removal by "Pedro" has been in your favor.
Does this mean the car is ready for "The Enduro Run"?

Looking forward to pictures.

Say hello to Wendy from me and The Laies
