Rich,
A search of my 1973 Chrysler Chassis Service manual on page 14-53 shows
four evaporative emission tubes on the fuel tank-all of which go to the
vapor-liquid separator located just in front of, and slightly higher
than, the fuel tank. From the vapor-liquid separator there is a
single emission hose leading to the charcoal canister located in the right front
fender well. (The other two hoses on the charcoal canister go to
the carburetor.) According to my service manual, this tank
configuration fits all Chrysler, Fury, and Imperial models for 1973. Since
the text and the diagrams in the book indicate that all four tubes leading from
the tank enter the vapor-liquid separator, and their sole purpose is to transfer
vapor from the tank to the separator, I would surmise that the repair you
proposed would be acceptable. If you would like a copy of the pages in the
service manual, let me know. I hope this helps!

Sorry guys, I've been out of town since the 7th - but I don't
know anything
about this subject anyway, other than the fact that there is
a vapor return
line from the canister and one from the fuel pump - I cannot
explain 4
tubes.

I'm not sure. This sounds like a question
for Dick B. I'm guessing that your
car has the recirculating canister
up front. I don't know if disabling that
would cause any problems. I have
a 69 with 2 vent holes. The vent tube comes
through the trunk floor
& back out again. A rather strange set up I think.

>> Hello List

The

all four vent tubes would be
