Bought a new 73 a few weeks ago, pulled the panels off after drilling out the rivets. They had been drilled before when the PO went Fi to Carbs, but he went and put rivets in again, only larger. The F***G holes are 1/4" dia. I went and bought some pan head screws to replace the rivets, but there they like a pimple on the end of your nose. I thought I would ive with it until I got around to painting it again then weld the holes. Any suggestions?
The good news was no rust... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

Actually the purpose of the charcoal canister/evap system is to hold the fumes form evaporated gasoline and them release them to the intake . This serves to reduce the smell of gasoline in the pasenger compartment and to save the whales or darter snails or whatever.
