PLEASE HELP Modded 81
this is driving me nuts has anyone changed out the carb intake dist
on a 81 corvette??
all the lines were taken off the fuel vapor can and the gas smell is unreal in my garage
The can has 6 outlets fuel line in
air vent line looks like I can get into the back top of the carb bowl
The carb is a holley spreadbore model # 80555-1
I have no purge valve in the thermostat housing
I can T the pcv coming out of the bottom of the carb
no egr valve
so that leaves me with 1 hose 5/16 and 1/4 hose what do I do with them ?
and have many of these hoses do I have to hook up to make it work and can I just plug the others
I assume I need a the vent and pcv hooked up right?
any pictures would be great
thanks

the easiest bet is to disconnect the line that comes from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister and put a rubber cap on it. the canister may smell like gas for a while but with the line comming from the tank capped it will evaporate out of the canister eventually.
