Anybody have pictures of the gas tank vent system for a 70 Cuda. I bought the kit from Fine Lines but have no idea how it mounts.
A shot from the underside would be good as well

Allan,

Let me guess, you're good with the rubber line to the nipple and the problem is you don't know where the other end goes after it goes up through the trunk and back out?

Let it hang in the slot in the frame rail. The other thing you're going to need is the impossible to find clip that holds the double tube to the outside of the pinch weld of the wheel house to keep it tight in the trunk.

So...A rubber hose runs from the gas tank...through the frame and connects to one end the the tube that enters the trunk. The other tube coming from inside the trunk connects to the "S" shaped tube, and that just rests inside the frame rail?

You're only connecting one tube to the tank with the "S" line in between with short rubber hose on either ends. The bigger of the two lines just vents into the frame rail, it doesn't connect to anything.

no, gas tank to short rubber hose (4" max) to the S tube that goes thru the frame rail to short rubber hose to tube in trunk. bottom of tube coming out of trunk goes into frame rail and is just open

Mike,
Does that mean you just did ONE clip or are you saying you carry those now but it's a secret?

I wasn't going to say anything until I have a good quantity in my hands. I have, maybe, 4 more here until I get production stock in a week or so.

With my limited knowledge of cars, that's the only place that clip is used and the first thing to gets lost on a 70 Cuda/Barracuda hard top. Besides, I needed 3 for my own cars.

I'm not sure the market is there for the volumn that had to be made, but that's ok, I personally needed them.

Hey Colin, I went through that old post and I noticed the vent line going through the whole in the metal of the trunk floor. Was it replaced? I looked at 2 of my 70 Cudas here at the shop and neither one has the stamping anywhere near where the line goes, it's to far back. Looking at your's, that's the only place it could go to get a straight shot to the "S" line.

Hi Mike.. Yes the trunk floor was replaced..A look at those tabs revealed they're not radiused like the originals..This is the only one I've seen with the line routing like that also..A nice addition to help hold the line in place but probably not correct... Glad to see that line clip is being repoped...
