uh, no. I'm trying to make the carb work.

Update, took it to a local garage and they told me the coil pick up on the dizzy is in bad order. Would explain, or at least help explain, why it is running so rough.

Mark,

I am using your Computronic ignition system I am assuming that you used the "T" connection to go the the distributer which I no no longer have. So can I attach the top line from the vapor canister directly to the vacuum port on the carb below the choke? I would then cap the other lower inlet line on the vapor canister.

Sorry to beat this to death!

yes you can connect the vacuum port directly to the evap cannister but I like to tee that vacuum line and use a hose to the crankcase hose connection at the air cleaner

Sorry to jump in here, but I wasn't clear on your response. I do have the distributor vac advance so I'm using the carb connection. Where then should the vac line for the canister be connected? I capped it, but that sounds like a bad move
Thanks

Here is where I placed the split fuel filter (painted red below master cylinder) the supply and return lines are hooked up, waiting on the output to the carb until it is installed. I used a preexisting hole from the bay into the shock tower to bolt the clamp.
