Ok seems my memory is definitely not near as good as I thought... Could have something to do with it being over 30 years ago the last time I laid eyes on a 6-71 Detroit...
It would seem, upon further investigation (more pics), that black tube does not connect to the charge tube between the turbo and blower. Gotta love camera angles!!
So I'll venture a guess that it's an oil drain back tube... Could be wrong though!!!

As for the CCV, this is more likely where that lives... Venting to atmosphere through a filter.

And just in case anyone was interested, this baby is for sale for $5500.00 (not a bad price actually even for a used engine)...
These engines will run on just about anything that can burn!!

Especially when they run away...Detroit Diesel converting #2 diesel fuel into noise and smoke since 1938 !
Especially when they run away...
Intentionally locks the rack in "full fuel" position bypassing the manual governor... Lasted longer than I thought it would considering there's no coolant in it.

I miss hearing this sound. Was a LOT more prevalent when I was younger.... And for those who don't do FB I'm sorry.
Well, this is a strange coincidence. I just passed one of these (a white one) sitting in a storage lot on my way to work this morning. Beautiful rides, aren't they?
