the vented cap just leaves the system open , , the Charecoal canister was just a fiter system to let the fuel system breath without releasing vapors , without the canister you still need to leave the system open somewhere

Hóla "cruz",

are you running original fuel pump or electrical?? Original tank??
If you want a return line..one alternative as I have is a 100% braided line w/ Aeroquip's. Fuel pump feeds direct line to Holley DB, passing the line in the carbs I have bypass regulator and other line back to the tank. Bypass valve keeps the desired pressure in the fuel line and "circulates" the fuel in the system so that it will not be burned hellish hot in the carbs when you drive with part gas.... so two things you'll gain.. electric pump (in case) wont need to run with full power at all times + fuel keeps a bit colder

  I'll search for a Charcoal Cannister as i'm already into things as far as a new but original style set of fuel/vapor lines (5/16" & 1/4") and new but original style gas tank with the four vent lines at the front. I'm also going to use the regular twist on gas cap from my first 73 Challenger. Does anyone foresee any probs with this setup?
