Probably for EGR. If it's a '75, I'd be almost certain of it.

JMO...I think it would probably be a heat sensor that would run to the choke to let the Carb know when the motor was warming up? Not familiar with 75s..but just my guess as I have seen some setup that way....Russ

Ford FE Exhaust Manifold

RapidRuss is correct. I asked about the same thing the other day. There are 2 copper tubes comming off my manifold leading to the carb. Exactly where I haven't looked closley at yet. Same engine, same year.
