Hey guys, Well, I have no idea where I'm suppose to mount my fuel purge container (attached) below. It is sort of just "hanging out" since I have a second battery there (hopefully will be relocated in a month or so). Also the tube that connects to the bottom goes nowhere, is this a problem? I currently mounted it to one of the chassis holes that seem to fit. This is located right behind the driver's side headlight (front driver's side).

The second thing is the vacuum line (think it's a vacuum line) that goes from the throttle area to the purge container collapses after the engine starts (stupid free hose kits). Where do I find a replacement? I would still like some sort of "dress up version" for my own ricer demands, but I don't want one that will collapse. And what millimeter are these lines?

Will this be ok: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...46098

And will this much cheaper kit be ok:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33601

THANKS!

that should help you get started, it has the routing for all the vacuum lines on the SOHC motor.

Thanks for the diagram & suggestions. The akimoto kit looks quite a bit stronger than the silicon hoses I have now.

And it seems the fuel purge canister is needed from the diagram . Doesn't show where that hose that connects to the bottom goes, but I'm guessing it's a purge, so it can go nearly anywhere?
