HELLO, have 73 360 4 barrel, with Edelbrock carb. have the vent line from the gas tank but no canister. the carb does not have an inlet for a vent hose.
where can i tie-in this line? thanks

Bullitt-

Most folks in your situation just leave it open to the atmosphere to prevent the tank from forming a vacuum as the fuel is used. I've imagined a check valve of some sort might be useful to prevent evaporation.

I removed mine for space reasons. There is a rubber lose connection inside the front frame rail.
Changed the line out for another just a bit longer and ran it out to the inner fenderwell. for the end of it i bent a U shape for it to point downward. I then clamped a cheapo metal gas filter to the tube end. This allows it to breath and acts as a filter to keep the junk out.
