installs below the intake on the block so the road draft tube was sucking
the oil out of the engine. Might be worth a quick look?

Thanks, Joe, I had not thought about that. I only noticed the tube was
missing because I smelled nasty fumes while driving up a long hill. Took a
look and was suprised to find no tube. There does not seem to be any oil
coming out of the hole with the fumes, would that seem to indicate the
canister is still there?
I would really like to install an original-type closed system if I can find
one.
Thanks again,
Dennis McGillis
