I don't know how those little tanks & lines in the gas tank work, but if it was a vapor return it would have to be open at some point in the tank.
Gonna blow air thru that line on the charcoal canister & see if air comes out the bottom.
Now all this hopefully will be a mute point when the vented...
Also thinking of putting back the factory oil sensor, I know the new one is working right at 20, I'm hoping the old is set for 7 or 8 so it doesn't light up at every stop, that will be a problem when the time comes to sell the car!
Having the gauge to read I don't have to worry about the light...
Todays drive actually went well, didn't touch anything before I left.
Oil press. seems ok now, holding around 40 at 45MPH, around 30 at 25MPH, didn't feel like it was going to stall at stops & oil dropped around 10 on the stops.
Pulled the gas tank cap when I got home, no gulp for air today?
So...
Gonna bite the bullet & try a drive today, just waiting on the parts now anyway.
In the meantime my darn PU started draining the battery again, I think it's about a year since I had the wiper motor changed & it was good all winter cept for I time I just let it sit too long.
Good thing Mark gave...
Called parts gek, that guy said the # I gave is for a 71, won't cross over
Got another guy on their chat, also 71 won't go, so I went ahead & ordered the locking one, & that dang thing says 71 to74 , how could that be!
Was thinking after the next drive when I get in the driveway just open the cap & first see if it sucks my hand off & if so let it idle after I give it a breath of fresh air & see if it still dies out?
Locking cap is not that n big a deal, like 17 bucks, the other was 5, gonna call them later & see why the cheap one dissapeared?
If it's no longer available I'll just get the locking one.
Holy crap, went to order the cap & it does not come up on their website, it was friggen there the other day, gonna call em tomorrow.
They do show a locking one for 3x the price, I don't need a locking unit!!!
So doing some mulling over how to approach this thing when the carb kit gets here...
Parts geek has a vented gas cap, looks like mine but has something protruding down the middle mine does not have? motorad # 16641-05842187
Like 5 bucks, I guess cheap enough to try it?
Drilling would be my LAST resort.
Will see if the book that came with it mentions adjusting the secondaries, that sounds like a safer & easier solution & can be undone if failure is imminent
