1980 Rats Removal (how did i do?)

I accomplished my emissions removal (Think I did it right) and wanted some feedback if I should change anything. It’s a 1980 stock Rx7 my headers are going on next week.

This is basically what I did
before


After


This is what I did.



I basically
1.Distributor’s leading and trailing “t” running to second from left nipple
2.Crankcase to “t” fitting running to charcoal canister and the nipple next air vent solenoid.
3.Gas tank vent line and oil filler neck to check valve… from there top of check valve to nipple above altitude compensator or fifth nipple from left of carb. The third nipple under check valve to an adapter for larger hose (9/32 to 5/32) the bottom nipple under the five. Not sure what to call it.
4.capped everything else off

the only thing I dont have capped is the throttle opener, left it uncapped, is this wrong? I need to get rid of the rack for the rats nest and mount the ground somewhere else....not sure where.

Is there anything I did wrong or should change? It starts great (better then before) and idles like normal I did not do any adjustments to the carb.

i never capped mine off since it really dident make a difference when it was capped. so its really up to you...i think you did a great job..i would have removed that bracket and found another spot for the thing that your using it for. as for the ground put it on the firewall or to one of the bolts of the flywheel inspection plate.

Put a bigger ring terminal on the wire to use the 12mm bolt as a ground.
