engine pictures Options

im trying to see what i have and don't have in my engine bay and why i seem to have missing vacuum hoses.
can i get a few pictures of peoples engine bays. possibly one with smog equipment and one without. and what is an anti flash back valve?

im confused as to why you folks won't answer my questions. they are questions about WHY not how to.
i would like to know why my car idles perfect with the valve off whether hot or cold.
also want to know why putting the vacuum hose on the front of the distributor it runs smoother than on the back where it was intended to go?
i have read every single thing on the rennlist site. but im still confused which is why im asking questions. im not sure why everyone wants to send me to another web page every time i ask something its kinda frustrating when a straight answer is easier than pointing me down the road and having me walk there. i understand if you teach a man to fish, but i learned to fish. i have an actual question because the other sites, including searching on here for hours, has turned up no answer's to my questions.

and i cleaned the thing, the previous owner cleaned it. a lot of trial and error has already happened.

Your AAR is stuck. It needs to come out and soak overnight in PB blater, or it's not getting voltage. Thats the first one.

Idle's better with the line on the front- it's advancing the distributor. Some cars have a line on both sides of the distributor, some only on the front. That is basic for any old car. So more learning to fish is in order. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i understand advance and retard, what i don't understand is why plugging the one everyone says to use and using the one everyone says to plug is causing faster idle with the AAR on.
if the AAR is stuck then why would it run like crap when warmed up and that hose plugged?
you still didn't answer my questions.
if i have normal idle with the line OPEN and engine WARM then what ELSE could be causing my problem?
