1979-1980 evap hardline from carb air lid to filler neck

I need a pic of the evap hardline from carb air lid to filler neck for routing purposes. I checked the parts manual but the actual routing is less than desired. I'm assembling some powder coated parts I took off four years ago. Should have taken pics with my phone.

"evaporator hardline" from air lid to filler neck? Not sure I know what part you refer to. Can you post a pic of the actual item in question?

I think he is speaking of the hardline that is bolted to the thermostat housing and is connected to the top of the breather with a vacuum line. The hardline goes back under the alternator , underneath the rats nest ( I think) and is connected to what I call the crankcase breather nipple on the intermediate housing, again with a vacuum hose.

You are correct. I'll get a pic for future reference. I was digging in my parts bin for this project and discovered I had forgotten about an additional bracket that bolts to the air cleaner body and the T-Stat stud.

I see, I have a 79 rats nest I'm restoring. Here are some pics of how that hardline assembles to the vacuum tree. Plus, one of that additional bracket the hardline attaches to at the air cleaner / T-stat.
