today i attempted to tinker on the old man buick today (each day I give the car a new nickname) I cleaned and degreased the airbox assembely and took out the air filter that was full of oil smoke residue. I also cleaned out the carb elbow as well, however i am trying to get the butterfly valve to work.

I also wanted to know about o2 sensors. Mine is old and needs to be replaced, but there is a flimsy wire leading from the o2 sensor into this plug
should it be replaced as well.

Lastly how does richs filter setup mount or does it just hang?

Looks pretty normal to me kid. From the plug down is all you need to replace.

Oh c'mon one more pic of that O2 sensor PLEASE, lol
Leave the connector it's fine, replace the sensor and the pig tail that's with it leading up to the connector. It's a non heated O2 sensor.

whoa whoa whoa! You don't even have the system operating Don't worry about that stupid butt flapper seperator in the air box either. Just unhook the vac line and plug it. DONE! I just saved you a lot of time and some money. THrow a puralator air filter in and call it a day.
