What is the inHg of the two lines coming off the main vac line and why is one plugged off?

Does it shift normally?

Why is there a white valve on that heater hose just above the oil filter canister?

Looks like a cap for a super easy coolant flush.

There is some tomfoolery going on here.

I didn't see that, is that a drill bit?

The "white valve" is one of those coolant flush kit connections installed in the heater hose.

Now it is worth finding just out of curiosity. I will just be watching as I know my limitations.

Engine compartment looks fairly clean like someone may have taken care of this car.

the car does shift pretty normally but its does kinda slip a little when it going into gear when you accelerate , we thought that might be a sligt leak since the ignition at that time wouldnt cut of on its own, the drill bit is plugged in one of the lines so it dont leak not sure which one..here is also a better pic of the drill bit what its hooked up to

OK, you should T in a vacuum gauge (Mity Vac) in that brown line going over the top of the oil filter and monitor the level of vacuum when you turn the key off. Then monitor the level of vacuum when you hit the horn button. Report back with the results.

Unplug the wires that go to the horn(s) and see if the horn button still shuts off the motor.
