What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Not to be out done, I went out and looked at mine as well...

Probably oughta make sure the battery is still charged..

 

Painted it finally!! Grabber Green.

 

Very nice.

 

Cool color, @Crash00034!

 

took a couple of vids of the operation of the hood hinges, looking into a spring mod.

 

Hopefully it won't be long before I can install my grabber hood and finish up the AJE suspension. I'm kind of getting the itch.

 

Today mmmm raining but got the chance to add the air filter elbow for the gas tank charcoal canister this is what I did hope it helps….

 

You always impress me with great work........Good man !

 

I think I'm missing something here. Shouldn't the charcoal canister be connected to manifold vacuum, for example by putting a T in the PCV line?

 

In my maverick 1975 the line from the canister goes straight to the air filter is a line from the gas tank to the canister and the other line goes to the air filter the filter element stops any debris if the canister start to fail some new cars and newer have a canister with vent electric valves but ours are simple

 

Miguel has it correct, charcoal canister was connected to OEM air cleaner housing via flexible tubing.

Thinking if you connect the charcoal canister to a vacuum source possibly will create a big problem suctioned debris from the canister to the Intake and possible damage some engine parts

 

Just trying the best for our cars and possibly helping some one else with our posts .thank you for your comment

 

I see, early cars with charcoal canisters are passive, but the systems sprouted a purge valve over time to flush it with fresh air and pull it into the engine.

 

The Bride and I met up with Jeff at Baby Janes for lunch...
