Short version:
When I got this car, some of the hoses and vacuum lines weren't connected properly. Below is a pic of how they are now. I haven't started the car with this setup yet. Chime in to let me know if they are connected properly. If not, how should it be done?
Long version:
The car was running okay when I got it but I want it to run as well as possible. Some hoses were either disconnected or missing altogether.
There is a hose adapter to the inside of the Weber air filer housing. I installed a T-connector and routed the hose from the flame trap (?) on the side of the engine in front of the distributor (which was just hanging there),the oil filler cap vent (which was never connected) and the output of the charcoal canister into the air intake. This T-connector is stuck in the side of the oil filler cap vent hose; it's a temporary hookup until I can get the right-sized T-connector for the larger hoses.
I'm trying to construct a gas tank vapor capturing system since this car didn't come with one. (I don't want to vent to the atmosphere.) The charcoal canister is from a 164 (not sure if it was fuel-injected or not). I have hoses from the fuel filler hose and from the top of the tank going to an expansion cylinder I got from the same 164. Another hose goes from the expansion cylinder to the side connector on the charcoal canister. There's a valve on top of the canister which goes to the carb's air intake.
Anyhoo, here's the setup:
