I think the hose connection you're talking about goes to the run-on valve that
should/might be below your carbon canister. That valve should have two
connection points with the other being a hose that goes to the rear carb (or
more specifically a vacuum T connection on the manifold side on the top of the
rear carb).
FYI I don't have a run-on valve and the hose on the carbon canister is not
connected to anything and is routed under the car (bear in mind that my set-up
(carbs and canister) isn't correct for a 71 TR6 but it works. I'm in the
process of changing to 71 carbs and will eventually use the carbon canister only
for fuel tank vapor recovery.
My experience is that the bottom connection on the canister can be plugged or
not hooked to anything and it doesn't affect the way the car runs. The flow in
that hose goes either way depending on if the run-on valve is open or shut.
Without the valve it becomes just another inlet for air into the carbon
canister. I assume the Webers didn't use the hose from the run-on valve and
that's why it wasn't connected to anything.
BTW you can send me those webers if you don't want them any more.

Subject: '72 TR6 carbon cannister/emissions

I'm a recent purchaser of a '72 TR6 that had Weber downdraft carbs
installed(not completely correctly I think). I have returned the
Strombergs and am trying to get the emissions/vaccuum connections.
The carbon cannister has a hose connection on the bottom that I can't
figure out. What or where should this connect?
By the way, I have enjoyed reading the list the past month!
P.S. Anyone interested in a couple of Weber carbs? -one appears in good
shape, the other probably needs to be rebuilt(carbon buildup)-the engine
was running when I pulled them off, just very rich.
