Howdy everyone,
So I think the next project I need to address is the horrid fuel smell. My car is a 1972 with twin Weber IDF's. Nothing is connected in the frunk. My plan is to order some cloth braid hose from Belmetric and reconnect everything up front, as well as possible a filler gasket. The engine compartment is a different story. Where is the pressure tap off the fan housing? I can't seem to find it. And then, what have people used to cleanly attach to the generic IDF filters? I went on a date today (first date in 23 year, newly divorced) and the woman complained of nausea from the smell. I had planned on doing it soon. Now it is on the front burner. Last question. Is it worth getting a later plastic canister and recharging it? It seems like it is easy to find canisters, but not the corrcect mounting hardware. Will the later one sit correctly on my early tank? Thanks for any help Dan |

So where is the pressure port on the fan housing? on all original 1.8 engines its on the rhs of the mag fan duct casting. out towards where the battery is. a cast nipple comes out sideways. i think this holds for all 73 1.7s as well and maybe even earlier cars. it also was used in 75 2.0 L cars so will be used and opened up on all those original engines. however 73 and 74 2.0s were different. @JeffBowlsby knows where it is on those. i wouldn't have a clue. so it depends on just what engine and fan casting you have in your hot little hands. look over the fan casting on right hand side and see if its there on yours. its just a cast in nipple comes out sideways.
