so here's what went missing

#6 - hose connector <NLA>
#10 - protective hose <NLA>
#11 - hose <NLA>
#21 - connector <NLA>

what are people using as work arounds ... or do i just need to find used ones?

thanks you sir! yes, the 12 x 19 hose i have ... so what i guess i have left to find is the #6 connector

when i look at this picture, i don't really see the #6 connector ... unless that is the part next to the check valve. the shiny black part next to the check valve is what i'm talking about. it seems that it could just be a hose to the check valve and intake manifold.

Chris your comment makes me think of the check valve - this is what is available - and is #9 on the diagram. this one i get ... so if the shiny black part on the picture is part of the original style check valve ... then all i need is the 12 x 19 hose to connect to the intake manifold ... correct?

Hmm I’m worried I didn’t reinstall this part. I have the large 12x9 hose from brake booster and still have the hose I took off the car. I should check to see if it’s on there and I didn’t notice - there were so many various pieces of hose and clamp that looked frankenstein’d together
 
for me, i keep looking at the holes with nothing covering them ... so i know i'm missing something. lots to learn ... i have a couple of good teachers though ... really professors. thanks again to the guys who know who they are!!! it feels good when you get something together that you didn't take apart ... especially some of the times when you didn't have to take something apart that you had already put together. i know, that's normal.
 
I feel you! Although there are times I am frustrated at how slow the process is, or I get disappointed that it doesn’t end up as perfect as I’d like (I didn’t really need to see the beautiful engine bay in that Malaga last month on BaT!), overall it’s a rewarding process. I feel like I know nothing but then realize I’ve learned a lot. It’s also interesting to ask a question and to see that HBChris or Don or one of the other professors asked the same question 10 years ago and I realize “they didn’t know it all from the beginning”. Now I have the advantage of that post from 2016 - they didn’t have any 10-year post from 2003 guiding them. But we are all learners and then teachers.
 
don't get me wrong - i love it ... it takes time, but that is mostly because i want to learn more and i want to do a good job. i used to do it out of necessity, now i want to do it. at my age, i'm only going to learn so much ... i'm to far past the idea that i could build an engine ... but i know i can organize what i want to build and do the research and hopefully ask the right questions when i get stumped. its all good and you are right, then we have something to share / teach.
 
Well I am glad you asked about that part because turns out I had left it on my old hose. Corrected now. This is why I feel like if I don’t check the site every day I’ll miss something critical
 
I believe number six is a fitting that is screwed into the base of the manifold for carburetor cars. You won’t be using one on your Fuel Injection
