A newbie needs a little help. Just got the parts in for my gas tank install from JBG. Just waiting on the tank. Here are my questions.
1. Where can I get a schematic\drawing on the fuel system for a 76?
2. I ordered Plastic nylon gas line, can I use this from the tank up?
3. Where do the two stainless gas tank vent lines go?
4. forgive my ignorance, but what is the whitish plastic tank thingy bolted to the right side firewall? I see a flexable line running to the carborator.

A layout or drawing would be really helpful. Thanks for the newbie!!!

I hope this helps. It's not for vapor control, so it may be too early for what you need.

This might help also, it shows the vapor cannister and the lines coming from the tank to the cannister.

Do a search on "Vapor Cannister". It is part of the emissions system. It keeps the fumes down to a minimum and is designed to burn off the vapors. One of the lines is connected to a charcoal cannister which should be located on the passenger side under the hood or under the front floor pan. Should be round and one hose goes to the carb or intake manifold.
