I used the same resistor as @GA Architect.

OHMITE - L50J1R0 - Resistor, ceramic. 1 Ohm 50W.

OHMITE - L50J1R0 Resistor, ceramic. Resistance: 1 Ohm. Power: 50 Watt. Technology: wirewound. Enamel coated. Dimensions: 0.655

Used an M8 bolt, flattened and bent the stock mounting hardware to accommodate the longer resistor.

No you didn’t.....no photos, it didn’t happen. Thems the rules

I was so shocked/happy that I didn’t have to make new brackets, I didn’t take any pics.

Front is done

Got the front done on Saturday night. Had a few friends over. We drank a few beers. A few extra hands to get things lined up. Wasn’t bad at all.
Installed the rear on Monday AND Tuesday nights solo after work. Much less fun.

He’s not sure this is legal

I’m in the same boat. Message incoming !

Top side. Forward connection goes up and across the firewall and likely terminates at a VSV that I don’t have.

 

[Skeet]

Where top forward connection terminates

 

[Skeet]

Top rear connection goes down, makes a hard outbound turn, travels along the underside of the tub and terminates at the tank

 

[Skeet]

Where it terminates

 

[Skeet]

Bottom connection goes to a pipe the vents to the outside terminating in a hollow, tub support

Mine is in precisely the same configuration right now. I’d really like to know where that loose end by the clutch master goes,(I think carb) and if there’s any valving on it.

Since that line has useful vapor in it, it should be plumbed into the air cleaner lid, so that the vapor is drawn into the carburetor and burned. I have added a bung or two to some air cleaners over the years to do that.

Is there a port on a stock carb that is intended for these useful vapors? Although I currently have a Weber 36/32 I have acquired a ‘76 California spec OEM carb. I’m struggling to determine the difference between a federal and Cali spec.

For purposes of plumbing the charcoal canister, a bung on ANY type of air cleaner should serve to draft the fuel vapor.

Some good tech here on the canister and venting to the air cleaner... helping me develop a solution to my fuel tank plumbing that is currently incomplete.

That’s what the like button is for.

Yes... and no. The "Like" button is an artifact of the Facebook-ization of our culture. The value of forums like this predate Facebook, and exceed it's value. When I personally benefit from folks' input on the forums I try to do more than just click Like.

In that case…operators will be standing by for your next order.
