Default Fuel Vapor Canister ???

On my '78 I have 3 hoses coming out of the canister. One is small and goes to the manifold or thermostat 'T'. I have disconnected and plugged that one already. One is big and tee's off with the PCV. I want to plug that one and run the PVC direct into the carb.Would that be OK? The last big one goes directly into the carb, that one I will leave hooked up. That one hose should be enough to vent right?

On my 79 cannistor I have one hose that comes from the fuel tank vent,one bigger one that goes to the large pipe on the front right of the carb,& then the rest are plugged.The pcv hose is not connected to the cannistor,& runs from the pcv valve to the pipe on the front left of the carb.Thats all I have.I remember there was a lot of issues with this a while ago,maybe someone will chip in.

Neil.

That's the way I want to run it, with only the large hose that goes in front of the carb. It should be Ok...

Just a word of caution, change your gas cap to the vented type as used on the 68 and 69's.
