Hi all,
Can anybody tell me what should be connected to this little pipe on my air filter box? It is a '74 1.8 with the L-Jetronic. It came without anything connected to it when I bought it.  Thank you in advance! Frank |

Boy! I just got a good reminder of how well the evap system on these cars works. Took the car for a drive earlier and refilled the gas tank. Then drove home and parked it in the garage. Wife comes home just a few minutes later in the DD and parks in the other bay. A half hour later and the garage WREAKED of gas fumes. So much so that I started checking both cars for fuel leaks. Finally found the culprit. I had removed the charcoal canister over the weekend to access the intermittent wiper relay. When I reinstalled, I forgot to reconnect the little hose from the charcoal canister to the evap tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) What an unbelievable stench that belched out of there.

That's why I hooked it up even on the big 4.0L engine. It makes a substantial difference and it only adds maybe a pound to the total vehicle weight. I still need to do the factory six, but I have all the parts now. Clay |
