Update on crankcase breather hose
Completely corroded! It actually tore off at the base near the block. I'm hoping not to much debris fell into the crankcase. I also noticed a wire coil in the metal tube that the hose connects to near the battery. I pulled it out to find it completely coated with oil and general crap. I took it out and left it out because I don't see how air can get passed it because it was so coated. Do I need to put it back in, or can I leave it out?
Driving to work today and my cruise control didn't work... sigh... like I needed something else to fix. Any vacuum likes that I might have bumped while fixing the breather hose?

Ah yes, the spark arrester... I started pulling mine out, but then decided to find out what it was
first. I think that was the only right thing I did on that project. Mine was so full of gunk as well. Such a PITA to clean out, hours of alternating between carb cleaner and scalding hot water. Couldn't believe how much stuff was in there. anyway, how are you liking it up here now? You coming down for pizza at Burian in a few weeks?

Seattle kicks ***, great to be back closer to my friends and not working 12 hours a day
I feel like I'm on vacation working for the lazy B.
When are you guys meeting?
I'm getting some new seats and door cards in a week or so, to replace the dried, hardened, cracked, and torn ones I have. Can't wait.
New headliner and I'll be mostly complete. Here's my remaining items:
Cruise Control <- new as of yesterday, might have bumped something while I was replacing the breather hose
Central Lock Mechanism, just picked up a new one yesterday
Heat Shield repair/replace
Amplified Antenna repair/replace
Windshield Wiper repair/replace
Spark arrestor re-install, lol crap.
All pretty small stuff, but stuff that's going to take time.
