To elaborate a little on redghost's answer, yes, Mac does have a way to mechanically remove a CD from any drive. You need a straightened paperclip. Poke it into the hole redghost mentions, and it will rachet the tray out. The cool thing is that with a Mac you never need it. On 1 Oct 2005 at

Well, it was. Copy-protected CDs break the long-established audio CD standard. No CD player is required, either legally or technically, to play them or behave in any other useful way when faced with one. They're a bastard misuse of the technology. On 9/27/05, David Brodbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The vacuum gizmo is part of the vacuum circuit for the transmission. It's used to modify the vacuum signal based on throttle position. If it were 300 engine than I'd suspect that the pipe is the turbo oil drain, but this is a 240 engine. Where does the other end of the pipe go? Thanks, Tom
