Newbie with a fuel line question
I am attempting to resurrect a '72 Blazer that has been severly abused. I am new to the gear-head life - but I am adventurous!!! The Hillbilly owner before me had a *small* engine fire and installed a new crate 350. After copious ammount of duct tape and solder - he got it to run and sold it to me. I am almost complete in getting it road worthy - rewire, repaint, sacrifice to the God of BowTies... I am tracing lines from the tank - one goes to the pump up front, one is the filler hose, one goes to the sleave around the filler hose, and two join another and go into this sealed tube that is located in the rear driver side cargo panel. From that tube I follow a metal line to the engine and then....nothing. It just hangs there - waiting to be connected to something. Any ideas????

That is part of the emissions system. In 71 GM went to a non-vented cas cap. On warmer days gasoline will tend to give off more vapors. The 2 lines that join into one are vent lines on the left and right of the gas tank. The cylinder is an expansion chamber / liquid trap. The line that is just hanging there should go to the charcoal canister that is between the battery and the fender. From the canister you will have a hose that "T's" to the PCV hose. This will pull any vapors out of the charcoal canister and burn them as you drive.
It is up to you if you want to put it back to factory. Since it doesn't hurt milage or performance I guess I would.

THANKS!!
Thanks for all the info! It helped clear up a few things. I will get the camera out this weekend to post a couple of recent pics. I have some shots of the "gifts" I found....never seen duct tape, wire nuts, and solder all used on the same circuit.
From Idaho....
