Hi all--Finishing some major work on my '79 FJ40: rebuilt cylinder head, rebuilt carb, belt drive fixes, proper desmog (PO had done it about halfway and poorly).
Following the excellent 79-80 "definitive guide" here, and in this post in particular the HIC vacuum routing is described: The Definitive 79-80 Desmog Guide - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-definitive-79-80-desmog-guide.812197/post-9277965
I purchased a new carb insulator and heat shield assembly which only has one vacuum fitting on it from a vendor here: NOS OEM Toyota Genuine Parts 2F Engine Carburetor Insulator Plate HEAT SHIELD FJ40 FJ60 FJ55 1/75-1987 - VintageTEqParts.com - https://vintageteqparts.com/collections/body-1/products/nos-oem-toyota-genuine-parts-2f-carburator-insulator-plate-fj40-fj60-fj55-1-75-1984
The large fitting I have now should be the inlet for the evap system, but there is no small fitting for the HIC present. How should I go about connecting this? Should I just skip it? Truck runs well but I'd like to retain as much of the original system's functionality as I can.
Thanks for any advice.
