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 |

I think going with a modern EFI (mega squirt, Haltech etc) and adding a canister purge solenoid that draws into a central airbag under cruise conditions would ideal. The purge solenoid would "seal" the system when parked. I have to believe we can bring these cars into the modern age while still enjoying the charm and the induction sound of the Webers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Totally! So where is the pressure port on the fan housing? Here's where it is on 2.0Ls. And thank you @wonkipop for confirming that the port is in the mag fan housing on 1.7s. I wasn't sure if I was remembering that right. I believe it should be on the housing just above the number stamped on the tin in my pic. It is pushing 40 years since I worked on a 1.7 though so take that for what it is worth. |
