Default vapor canister...

I'm looking at my vapor canister on my 77... There is only 2 hoses coming out of it.. One from the gas tank and one not connected.. I have read 100 posts.. They all say 3 hoses... ??? I can clearly seee it and there is only 2.. Any thoughts?

Purchase the 77 assembly instruction manual (AIM) and look over the diagrams of the factory installation. Compare what you find on your car with what the AIM says should be there.

Hi jman1,
I agree, most posters have 3 connections but I have only 2!
One to the tank and one to the carb.
