73 Mustang (Project SportsRoof) Engine Dress Up and Venting/Vacuum

By | | , , , , , ,

Did you think I sold #ProjectSportsRoof?  Nope.  I’ve been busy and I’ve been serving as editor to another cool project – my constant reader Bill’s ’68 Plymouth RoadRunner (#ProjectBeepBeep).

However, I have been doing some work on the sports roof and in this video you’ll see a little bling under the hood (not sure I like now that it’s done…but it’s easy to swap out).  There is also a few venting and vacuum issue I need to deal with and you’ll see those in the video.

 


Here’s a look at the Vapor Canister vs the Vacuum Canister.

Vapor Canister

Vacuum Canister

As I mentioned in the video, the vapor canister was missing from the engine bay and the fuel vapor line was running into the vacuum canister and then vented to the stock air cleaning.  After some research and help from the guys over on 7173 Mustangs forum I realized the problem and it’s an easy fix…although the vapor canister is pricey – without the charcoal!!!  (: ^ 0 ).

Coming up next some more work on the engine bay.

Thanks for reading

    Beautiful carb!
    Good you are straightening out the vacuum system. With power brakes you want that reserve canister.
    When is the engine starting ceremony?
