Charcoal vapor canister

[runner74]

Hello All

Just installed a "Street Demon 750" (1904) om my 74 Road Runner. Need some suggestions on what to do with the "Bowl vent line" that went from the canister to near the top of the old carburetor? Should I just put a fuel filter in that line to keep dirt out, or Just plug the line totally?

Thank you

There is no reason for not caping it. It purpose has been eliminated.

Thank you

I have capped it. See my next post

I capped using the rubber cap that comes on the new carb to cover the vacuum port.

Looks like I need to clean that canister, looks filthy in the picture.

Here's a thought for you if you want to get rid of canister. What I did on my 74 RR since I no longer had a canister was run a vent valve off of the vent line coming from fuel tank and mounted it just above the front of the tank with a clamp and short piece of hose. Just needs to be above heighth of tank and filler neck. I eliminated the line running to front of car and this will vent tank as it needs to be. Worked great. Here is the link of the one I am using:

This system, when hooked up and working correctly, is all benefit and zero drawback. Please see here.

Removing or capping the charcoal can is not a good idea, it's a bad idea. Cobbling up a vent as described in post № 5 is an even worse idea unless you like Car-b-que.
