G'day Bernie,
Thank you for the offer of photographs and also solving the issue of where the bottom pipe goes off vapour filter. One less mystery.
I am going to be putting a carburettor a step back in time from the HX-HZ which my engine is. I am going to go a complete HJ system. This involves just a line from the tappet cover to the air cleaner; a pipe off the side of the carburettor leading to the carbon canister; a line from the fuel tank to the middle coupling of the canister. Lastly, a pipe from the right side of the canister with a tee off the inlet manifold which then leads to the back of the tappet cover near the firewall that has the PCV valve fitted.
It will be a complete anti pollution system - not the elaborate and from what I have heard is a restrictive system that the HZ had.
It is all going in Land Rover Series III so I am hoping that there may be some lenience during an inspection of a mechanic not knowing what should be fitted where between a Holden and a Land Rover back in the mid 70s. In 1976 period when my Land Rover was made and 1977 when the Holden engine was made - fingers crossed it gets through the rego inspection - when it comes time for it. Got to get it to make vroom vroom noises first!
Kind Regards
Lionel
