What does this do??
I tried looking all around the web but never found the first pic that has this. On my motorcraft 2100 carb, there's a what looks like a small vacuum diaphram with a nipple for a hose to connect to, that sits right on the front of the Carb, outside the bowl, to the right of the filter and above the power valve.
What does this do and what hose connects to it?? Maybe a hose from the charcoal cannister?

I'm having trouble finding a specific answer. But I think I found a pic to help you along. You'll want to mention the model, engine, and options. I think the part is an idle speed motor for the A/C system. Bottom left corner of the picture.

It sounds like an old carb with an external power valve. Is there a standard Ford part number on the carb, or a tag on one of the float bowl screws? The number would start out something like C4TE, C4AE, etc. The first two digits are the year, C=60's, the second digit is the specific year, so C4 is 64.

No, the idle speed motor is on the side. As soon as you open the hood it's on the front of the carb bowl just to the right of the filter and above the power valve.
Yes it does have that tag on it. I'll get those today and post it.

A Temperature Compensated valve body will augment the accelerator pump system. The entire system is called the temperature compensated accelerated pump.

BTW, it has E3TE AVA on the tag and it's on an '83 F100.

Now my head hurts!! :-)
