Re: Fuel line check valve- draining issue

Baily, glad to see this brought up - I've got the same problem with my 1408 Edelbrock on a 351w, aluminum intake'd Bronco - after sitting for say the weekend, you had to crank it long enough to refill the float bowl (or so it seemed) - an inordinate amount of time considering later that day or even the next day it'd start almost before I get the key all the way to the start position.


I think the EVAP system is the answer, I'm pretty sure the bowl vents should be routed to a charcoal canister so the fumes are captured and re-introduced on startup - the unfortunatel thing is with a standard air filter the bowl vent tubes stick up in the middle of the filter - I guess I'll try drilling holes in the filter base and running tubing (sealed of course) to the bowl vents and teeing them to the oem canister.
