Perhaps a bit of a silly question, but does my 86.5 also have this flappy thing??

If so, where is it located?

Cheers

Nope. Flappys are on '87 and up cars.

Yup, but like I said, its not connected under the manifold.

Hard line to it was snapped.

Maybe I should get creative with a scope, and some loooong thin needle nose pliers...
