Thanks to this site and assistance from folks my 87 Fifth runs great with Electronic Spark and original carb in place. However, I now smell raw gas, and in the area of the charcoal canister, especially after shut off. I checked for vacuum on the hose at the top of the canister with the engine all warmed up; no vacuum. I did put a Mighty Vac on the valve on top of the canister and it held vacuum (test from the FSM).
Does any guru know if vacuum is present from the temp valve (which this line is connected to via the underhood label) only at cold start up? I know this valve also is in the air pump system. Does not look like the canister is an easy removal due to being under the coolant recovery bottle. As I remember the purge from the canister occurs on start up, don't think that is happening.
