Vapor Canister & Odd’s and End’s – 4 hours

The charcoal vapor canister was mounted on the driver’s side fuel tank support post, although many people will make a homemade version, the one used is an aftermarket ford replacement. A small bracket was fabricated and riveted to the ¾” box down post to support the base of the canister (the aftermarket canister has a molded slot at the base which the bracket clips into).

Vapor lines were run from the gas tank breather and rear axle breather into the canister. The purpose of the canister is to filter gasoline and oil odors as the vapor passes through the charcoal filter.

In addition the wiring was completed to the in-tank fuel pump and tested. Next step will be to add a couple of gallons of gas and check for leaks within the fuel system.

Lastly today the clutch cable supplied from Factory Five was replaced with an original Ford OEM cable, if you recall in an earlier block it was suggested that an original cable needed less leg pressure to operate. I am pleased to confirm that this is the case, for some reason there is no binding or resistance with an original cable.
