    52 super air cleaner

    I have a 52 Buick super I'm preparing to start after sitting a couple of years. I found 2 vacuum tubes welded onto the air cleaner that I'm pretty sure were added later but wanted some insight on it. Pictures I had seen online don't have them and I just want to cover my bases before attempting to fire her up! I'm going to just block them off if I don't need them.

    Looks like someone added those tubes for maybe venting fuel vapors??? I CAN tell you they are NOT stock.
