So, after restoring this 73 and having a blast with the Renegade aspect (love the way it drives).... I have a bit of a problem. Never paid any attention until I started to drive the car and getting this gas smell. Well it didn't take but 5 seconds once I actually looked at the line off the filler. The guy (PO) had just looped the line back through the 1/2" nipple into the fuel spill area. So, here's my question. What are you conversion guys doing/running on your rides. Are you using the stock overflow and charcoal unit with all the vacuum lines? Some modified versions?? Would love to know.
Attached is my current setup. I'm embarrassed that I never caught it. Oh, and for those who care to know, I replaced that old line and fitted a new line and bottle catch to see if that was my source of gas. It is..... Dave  |

Trying to stay legal so to speak although that did cross my mind. Little note to us conversion guys. talked to a Summit Racing manager the other day and he told me to be ready that California was going to require smog on EVERYTHING from 1966 and up. All cars must have stock engines and smog systems (if any for early years).
Scaring the crap out of me right now. At least they should give us a referee like they used to for us guys that make mods. Did that with my Jetta powered Westy. Dave |

It's just that they have let us out of getting tested. We still had to meet all the requirements, they just never checked up on us. It's a fine point, but I'm pretty sure that's how they're going to sell it... --DD |
