The old Ford carburetors went the simplest route they could, vented right on top of the bowl cover. The very easiest fix is to install one of the small Holley 2 BBL carbs which have the vent system inside the air filter ring area on the top of the carb. Either the 350 or 500 cfm versions work well. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Mayf<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>_________________________<br>drmayf<br>Worlds Fastest Sunbeam, period.<br>204.913 mph flying mile<br>210.779 mph top speed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Tigers [mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ron Fraser via Tigers<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, September 3, 2015 6:23 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Stu' <sabre2tgr@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> tigers@Autox.Team.Net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tigers] Interesting carburetor Observation<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'>Stu </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'> This is an interesting idea that needs some careful thought and investigation but I see a problem with where do you safely vent the fuel vapors and fuel.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'>The best place would be back to the fuel tanks but I don't think there is enough pressure to do that correctly.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'>A charcoal canister might work but I'm not sure it can take more than fuel vapors plus it has to be vented properly to recycle the vapors.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'>The best solution would be TBI which does have the correct system for fuel return to the tanks.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'>Ron Fraser</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>-----Original Message-----<br><b>From:</b> Tigers [<a href="mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net">mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Stu via Tigers<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 02, 2015 8:19 PM<br><b>To:</b> Tiger Net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Tigers] Interesting carburetor Observation</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>As I cruised around a few web sites to scare up a rebuild kit for my stock two barrel, I came across some interesting pictures.
