Fuel system vent?
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2020 7:23 pm
I'm working on getting my 67.5 back together after a frame off. I found that the PO had been rear ended, requiring the replacement of the fuel tank with a '70 tank intended to be used with a charcoal canister. Since the 70 car had its vent in the canister system, that would be the vent for the system.
But since I have a 67.5, the vent wouldn't be there. Where is the vent located in earlier years? I assume it is in the fuel cap but I don't see any passages. Is it just free airflow around the key slot cover shaft?
My key slot cover is missing so I am looking at either finding a different cap, buying a replacement key slot cover & having the cap re-plated or ???. Since the charcoal hose barb is open, I can either close off that barb or add a vent filter to it.
Peace,
Pat
