[DML] Re: Vapor Canister Hoses (Purge Line)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually that line is ported by the throttle plates. Does not receive
vacuum until they open, which of course means you could use it to
drive spark advance in lieu of the solenoid/manifold vacuum line
(that's how Volvo did it for F series in the 1970's).
