I have a suggestion on the shipping.

Cut a piece of 1/4 inch plywood to fit into the box snugly and strap the compressor to the plywood with plumbers tape ( after bubble wrapping). This should keep it from moving around in the box during shipping.

Hope this was useful,

[Needed Filter for fuel smell]

I swaped out the old Q-Jet for a newer style with electric choke. The other hose attaches to the fuel bowl vent. My old carb did not have it so I spliced it tinto the tank vent hose, not sure it is correct but seems to be working fine.

A little late but, I finnaly figured out how to post pics!

 

My '71 also had the fuel smell problem. I knew the hoses were old and in need of replacing so in addition to replacing the hoses I thought I would replace the canister filter too. Hopefully this will help someone.

 

Canister out and turned upside down with old filter:

New filter:

The old filter just pulls out. I was surprised there is no screen to hold the carbon in place..

Install new filter:

Reinstall carbon canister:

If you are looking for the replaceable filter that goes in the bottom of the canister O'Reilly sells them for about $2.50. LIN#KY

A little off topic Bruce, but I turned 4 on 5/16/1971.

Good information. I think my TCS system came off on May 16th 1971. I remember some people complaining their vehicle took too much braking effort to slow down at highway speeds. I assume that's because the speed on the TCS was improperly adjusted higher than spec. The TCS system also energizes in reverse to allow you to properly adjust the "coast" idle speed. Good times!
