When I was stripping the tub I wasn't as respectful to the vapor lines running under the rockers from engine to tank as I might have been. Also I am not sure where they all are (no smiley for what an idiot).
At any rate they seem to be a PVC material that is either supposed to be kind of stiff or has hardened with the age. They look black, and I suppose they may have started that way. Other than that they look like tygon tubing. I can find no replacement source. I probably won't have space for the catalytic converter in the 3.2, but I see no reason not to use this device for reducing emissions. But what should I use? Great thing is that this group will find me an answer (of some sort). Thanks so much! |

Like Ron, my hose dumps out below the firewall. If my charcoal canister is still good, one of these days I'll get around to installing it. Where can one get new pellets for them?

Where can one get new pellets for them? You can find activated carbon in most pet supply stores. It's really cheap. The hard part would be getting the canister opened up a sealed back up I would think. |

The hard part would be getting the canister opened up a sealed back up I would think. i cant remember where it was or when it was posted but while searching this a while back i ran across a thread someone did on replacing the charcoal, and it seems like it wasnt that hard. I was going to test the lines first by blowing some compressed air thru there to see if the lines are clogged first (or broken), and replace as needed, but since the car is almost 40 years old, i would say its a good idea to just replace the charcoal no matter what. i guess i will add this to my list of "things to do" , i need another one of those like a hole in the head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
