Hi all. So I finally took the time today to change out the head gasket on my ranger! 
The only problem I've got is that I can't remember which vacuum tubes go where on the back of the carb. I know one is for the pcv, and I think the other gets blocked up, but I'm not sure. I've got the old 1983 2.8L engine.
Also, on somewhat of a side-note, I simply CANNOT get the vacuum hose back onto the power valve. And tips/tricks on forcing a stubborn hose? Thanks!
In the picture, the unknown hose fittings are circled. There's also an empty bolt hole that's circled... don't think anything went there, but I want to make sure lol.
Also... there's something that I found today that says "to carb" but I have NO idea what it is. I don't think it was hooked up before either... anyone know?
