Default 73 fuel schematic

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a schematic for the fuel system in my 73 vette? Thanks

I'm also interested in this for my '73. Including how the Vapor Canister ties in to the whole system. Hopefully someone will chime in....

Thanks,
John

Does the AIM not provide all the details required?

I have a '73 with the fuel pump return and the vapor canister system removed. The lines are plugged. The AIM has a page that shows the fuel system schematic including tank, vapor canister, fuel lines, etc.

If you don't have the AIM I can scan the page but I can't post attachments.

BTW...if you disconnect the return system you will need to replace the unvented gas cap with a vented gas cap.

The return line is not a vent , but its hard to wrong with a vented cap.
