Hello Group,

        I looked into the rear-end clunk, and the U-Joints are worn on the
passenger's side.  I'm going to replace all the U-Joints on the car as
soon as the parts arrive.  Phew, relatively minor problem.  At least
it's not the diff-mount!

        My list of things to do on my '75 TR-6 is getting smaller.  Here's
another little issue that I need to tackle.  The Evaporative Loss &
Carburetor Breather systems are not hooked up.  There is a strong smell
of gas in my garage, and I'm pretty sure that is why.  My question is,
is there any reason to hook it back up, or can I simply plug the lines? 
The car seems to run fine without it, and if it's going to bring engine
efficiency down, I would like to leave it unhooked.  Emissions are not
an issue where I live.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike
