Im planning on starting my 81 this coming week. FINALLY !!
Ive got a couple of things left to do. One of them is to put gas in the tank. Back in August I started a thread about the tank vent. Only had a single reply. I searched the threads last night and I figured I would just buy one of these, mount it by the filler neck and move on to the next task.
I have some questions though. If I use this Ive read it has to be higher or as high as the top of the neck. That shouldnt be an issue. But what about the rubber line going to it ? Flat across the top of the tank ? I assumed the vent line needed to have a vertical coil to keep the gas from sloshing out if the tanks full and you go around a turn. Not correct ? And if I use the vent shown, no gas fumes at all ??? Ive got a detached garage but its heated with a ceiling mounted propane heater. Fumes wouldnt be a good thing. I dont even keep gas cans inside my garage.
The other question I need an answer for is how long is the throttle cable for a V8 car ? Ive got a bunch of cables out in the garage. The one on the car now seems like its too long. I looked on rockauto and they show two different lengths. The other thing I found out is one cable has a 1/4" hole at the carb, the other has a 7/32" hole. Im hooking it up to a Holley 4150. Anyone ?
